Yes, I think that this is true with Philco being a good example. Some of the early radios were not gloss. And some of those 80s and 84s were lucky to get any finish. What is also true is that some of the cheaper radios without walnut or mahogany were (and still are) easier to finish. But, into the 30s, they were mostly gloss.
