rare find....
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Not bad, it looks like it may have been taken out of service in the 1940s, or early 1950s judging by the replacement filter can, and the National Union ST style #47 tube with the NU logo. Was it stored in a basement or a garage?

Attic from what I was told. Not sure if it was the attic in the house or garage. Its cleaning up real nice. Will post new pictures once I get the cabinet finished.
