Amazing they shipped that heavy TV in such a small box. Someone told me those were the days when guys loading trucks and trains moved things carefully.

Dunno about Dumont, but Westinghouse sets were box packed and then placed in a wooden crate "cradle". A friend has a set of shelves in his post-WWII-era garage made with Westinghouse TV crates. "Westinghouse Television" and "Fragile - Kinescope" are stenciled on most of the boards. The boards are dingy now, but he thinks them to be made of poplar.

Cheers,
