One of the first radios I ever owned, about 100 years ago, was an RCA 5T1 -a smaller version of this set. To this day I am still amazed at how sensitive that five-tube tombstone was. I can only imagine what an 8-toober must be like.

As to whether the escutcheon was shiny or not - ask Doug Houston, he would probably know.
