Mantola 27
#5

Nice radio Jay. I'd venture to say it has the same U.S. Radio chassis as the Gloritone model 27. That chassis was used in a variety of sets and interestingly the chassis was inverted right side up on some sets like my funky little Radiotrope:

Notice how with the chassis flipped the dial is on the other side (left) and the volume control is underneath it? There were a few other sets like this but their names escape me at the moment.

I'm glad your mom saved that neat set for you.
