I really don't have the knowledge or time to restore this Beauty to do it justice. I'm sure there are some of you gentlemen out there who could really do it justice. Please make me some offers & I will sell to someone who would restore this piece. If you have any questions just private message on here & I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. Thank you.

Not trying to be critical, but has the radio been replaced ?
I was expecting to see Victor / RCA's "micro-syncronous" horizontal slide tuner ?
Still a very nice-looking piece.

The radio has been replaced, it would have had a Radiola 64 originally, too early for the Micro-Syncronous.

Wow, he worked for Victor in Camden? I have some of the art furniture books from
the Victrola shop. He may have used some of them.

Here is a picture of him, ca. 1938.
It has appeared in many publications of RCA over the years.
He started on the Victrola leg line in 1915.
Was the last carver to be let go once fake carvings came into use.
