[Philco1928]

As for making replicas one might as well, so long as they are not represented as the real thing, which would be hard to do unless you have the original labeling, which would mean having an original hand painted set. Best Regards

You bring up a good point here Arran. The fact is there are many of these sets in collections that are so badly beat up they aren't worth displaying. Therefore the original labeling IS available for easy transfer to a replicated set. Yes the model number is a metal plate rivited to a large tube shield, but, this shield is attached to the chassis with simple screws, so in reality it could be physically transferred to the chassis of a "non-genuine" replicated cabinet, (or the shield with attached model # sold to someone who is doing replications).

One of the four model 513 Labrador Gray sets (Pg.15, 1st Edition Philco Book) I have came from the seller without any shield at all.
