Well, a model 30 in a 1929 lowboy cabinet. I guess this is another instance where Philco was using up excess inventory at the beginning of a model year to create a few Phactory Phranken-Philcos.
This isn't the only time I've seen a Philco chassis of one season in a cabinet of another. It appears that during the Depression, Philco often created limited quantity Phactory Phrankens to use up excess stock. The Philco grandfather clock is an example. It was made first with model 70 chassis, then with model 71 chassis, then with Model 52 chassis. And I have one with a model 89 chassis that I believe came that way from the factory.
Hang on to that 30, Jayce, it's unique!
