You got me on that "Halbert" badge... They did have a brass badge "KAYE-HALBERT", and without those little lightning bolts that yours has. Frankly no idea! Could yours have been cut in half due to some damage? It's definitely a Telindustries chassis, which was used in all the pre-1951 sets. Look on the tube layout, and see at what address the factory was located. If it's Exposition Blvd in LA, it's the earliest plant. If 3555 Hayden Ave, it's after Harry Kaye got involved. If Howard (Halbert) were still with us, I'd have to call him on this one. The third and younger investor in the Kaye-Halbert corp; Bob Lodge, is still alive and well in Pacific Palisades as far as I know, so I might try to get hold of him. I'm no expert on Kaye-Halbert, but I've tried to compile as much as I could about it. I have plenty of literature and have talked with Howard Halbert on the phone in the mid-1980s. This set will be good material to learn about.
I'd like to take a look at that set in person some time  Charles
