As we say in Russian, awkward is when sleeping on the ceiling, the blanket keeps falling off

I will say that early Admiral sets don't show up very often. I'm not quite sure when they started. Most of the ones I've seen are post war and mostly bakelite. Was listening to some WWII news reports and low and behold in was sponsored by Admiral. They where advertising a console/radio/phono. Your set looks like it's from the mid to late '30s.

Continental Radio and Television was the forerunner of the post war "Admiral Corporation", they were like Wells Gardener in that they mostly built private label radios for store chains. The pre war Admirals I have seen had an oval brass plaque nailed to the front panel that said "Admiral" with absolutely no mention of the name on the dial, but it would say CR & T on the data plate on the chassis somewhere.

How big is your head? There is no way all that knowledge can fit in a human head. I'm lucky if I can remember my kids names and you can explain pretty much anything with the history behind it. You are a pretty fart smella.... I mean smart fella, ![]() Kirk Times I have been electrocuted in 2021

Hmmmm...no 'disheveled' lady when I click the link. All I get is the Knight A9871. Did you notice the patent plate on the back? It has Admiral Electric Corporation... Joe

I just wish there was someone who would write comparable books about Canadian radio manufacturers. Besides that I learned that detail about Continental Radio and Television from the alternative forum, there is some useful stuff on there sometimes if you can sift through endless threads about 6X5 tubes, and clueless people asking how much their particleboard 1973 Electrophonic Eight track cabinet stereo is worth.
