Default Vintage 'Operatic' radio

I don't know much about vintage radios but this turned up at my local auction house today. I didn't stay to see what it fetched, if anything.
Sorry I didn't see a manufacturer's name, but likely Australian.
I'm not sure that I would welcome it into my living room...

That was quick, Cobaltblue ! What a wonderful name for a manufacturer: Bland Radios.

Hi BC

Normally I don't have much time during the day but as I am updating documentation to reflect changes in 18th Edn I needed to do something to stop myself suffering from terminal boredom

Cheers

Imposing! It certainly has a degree of 'presence' ..... and looks to be in fair condition too.
