630 with a 16 or 19 in. enlargement rebadged on eBay

This looks like one of those early 50s "upgraded" 630's... I've seen similar ones, and evidently what they did was to take in your old 10" set on trade for a newer larger TV, then wholesale out the small-screen sets to companies who would make new cabinets and retrofit for a large tube... Then you could buy these at a reduced price as compared to a "new" large screen console.

Yes, there were obviously a lot of 630-style licensing lab TVs with larger tubes, but if you look closely, you will see that these knobs are the original "cone in a bar" RCA knobs and looks like the Ch 1 tuner with original gold bezel. That, in addition to the unfamiliar cabinet, leads me to think this is an upsize/resale set. Also there's no name plate on it. Those sets didn't have name plates because they might have been sued by the original manufacturer if the original name was used, or also if they made their own name but used the original mfr's chassis without paying licensing.

Probably not worth much, but you don't see these everyday.
