I just got a very nice Model 70 today and one of the really neat things about it to me is that it has 'Ward Bros. 1819 E. Anaheim, phone number, Member RTA' stamped on the back. It's also dated 'june 10, 1942' It's always fun for me to have a little history about the set.
So this set was already ten years old when it went in for service early in WW2. probably was used throughout the war as new sets were not available. I love to think about all the history it must have broadcast!
