Definitely Canadian-only for certain. It slightly resembles the USA 41-611 in appearance, but that chassis is very different from any USA Philco model.

It looks like Philco of Canada placed greater emphasis on SW in the early 1940s than did Philco (USA). That radio chassis resembles a Tropic in SW coverage.

It's too bad there isn't much on SW anymore. You would have fun with that radio.

Aw, g'ahead, it's only $50... Icon_twisted
