Hi Steve,
The 24" CRT in that huge set is a Brimar C24KM. The tube is an import with the word "Foreign" printed on the octagonal label. The tube has a pentode gun and is most likely the magnetic focus MW61-80 made in a Continental works by either Philips, Telefunken or SEL.
The story goes that the set was owned by a wealthy American family who lived in Kent. The purpose made cabinet is very well constructed but finish on the surfaces could have been better.
