I'm just looking for a decent looking bakelite table set to shine up. It seems like 90% of those listed as such on ebay
are actually plastic according to Susser. Are all post-war Hippos, Transitones and other Philcos plastic? The number of actual
bakelite radios without pushbuttons seems pretty limited. Igolioto has a pretty hippo up now that he states is bakelite, but
gives no model number. Possible?
