Re: Roberts P5A 1946
Yes, many companies chose a specific symbol to use on fretwork speaker grilles, decals etc.. and kept to it for a while - Pye's "rising sun" etc. - and Roberts adopted the Aladdin's lamp. They used it too on the speaker fret of their early suitcase portables, there are a few of those around. Its last appearance as far as I know was on a little octagonal enamel badge inside the lid of some of the first sets in the general style of the P5A, then the long oval Roberts Radio enamel badge replaced it there.
