OK, Interesting, I didn't realize these were used by other companies as well, I've only seen this style of caps in one or two other radios I've worked on over the years, an old Battery Powered Farm Radio from 1937 and an old Westinghouse Columnette Tombstone Radio from 1935. So by the sounds of it these might of been early Oil Capacitors?
