Can anyone help identify this radio? I got it a few years ago with a 38 Ford Convertible sedan. Thanks

Any identification on it as to the manufacturer, etc.?

Sometimes they will have a paper chassis diagram inside the case with some info on it. It's not like any made for Ford radio I've seen unless it was aftermarket.

Te dial face and color is similar to a GM radio of the late '30's, like '39. Most car radio's starting in '39 had the speaker built into the radio chassis. Very unusual for a radio to not have a manufactures ID plate somewhere on or in the radio.
