Hi folks, new user here.
In helping my mother-in-law go through a century of family treasures stored in her box room, I found a Transitone from what I can only guess to be 1940-1942.
I have looked at every photo of every model in the library on this website, and it isn't pictured! The reason I believe it is from those three years are the breadbox-style rounded front on the top, and the two knobs below the dial, similar to other models in that era. 
I've noticed that there are a few models from that date range that have no photo or description available. 
Can anyone help identify Oma's radio?
Thanks so much!
Lisa
