Truetones were the house radio of Western Auto Stores. They had many manufacturers. Some of the early sets were made by Detrola and were pretty cool looking, command a good price. The D may denote Detrola, look on the chassis for clues, made in Detroit MI, etc.... It is a pretty handsome set. Bet you can bargain down.....
