dewickt,

Please post the auction photo when discussing ebay items. This way future readers of this post will know what we were discussing long after the auction link is dead. I put that set as 1948 plus or minus ~5 minutes.

I had one of those,exactly like it,had a nice marble like finish,the door retracts into the sides,the chassis was the same as a 8ts30,
well the chassis looked the same..uses a 10bp4 round picture tube,but i think the stamp date on mine was early 1949.
heavy table top set though..it is not all that large,just heavy
good luck if bidding on it.. those are nice!

I had the same set at one time. It's basically the 8TS30 in a different cabinet.

Here's the picture:
