My Grandfather (pictured in my avatar) was head wood carver at VTMCo 1915-1938.
Looks like his work.
He also made a custom radio for the Chrysler Family that went to the Chrysler Bldg. in NYC in the 1930's.
Any else out there have relatives from Victor or RCA ?

I hate to go off topic, but I think that’s pretty cool that your grandfather was the head carver at Victor. It’s amazing that such artistry was done in a production environment. Do you have any machines that you know for certain that he worked on?
