A depression era 4-tube "Auburn" cathedral

If anyone has any information on this set I'd appreciate it. It's a medium sized 4-tube cathedral radio from circa 1931. It has the typical unmarked shallow chassis and Rola speaker. Likely when I do research on it I'll find the same cabinet with a slew of different names. I like the deco "AUBURN" name on this one. This example was found in nearly mint original condition with a clean chassis and a globe tube still in place. I didn't check under the chassis, but it plays perfectly as-is with a long antenna. These lower-cost radios are classic relics of the depression and appealed to those on a budget at the time!
