Still wondering what it's sitting on...

Pretty little set! I am surprised that there appears to be little collector interest in these first rectangular CRT sets that used the early flat sided tubes with square corners. From what I have collected, there appear to be many more sets around with round 12" tubes than these (14CP4, 16RP4 and other similar types). Of course, 50s sets with the later more rounded rectangular CRTs are very common... I wonder if collectors simply lump all rectangular sets into the same category ?

My mother's best friend had the "big brother" to that-Radio, TV, & record player-in her children's playroom for YEARS..I remember it being reddish-brown, & Frankie & David eventually painted it lime-green...Don't remember it EVER workin'...If we'd only known....It got tossed sometime in the Seventies or Eighties...
