First chance I get I'll do that Steve. I have placed right now where it's a bit of a hassle to move. I should've took photo's earlier. My repairman, who I got it from, who got it from the original owner, has seen many of these sets and noticed that this one was quite unique.

UPDATE:
I got to the back of my set and I think, according to Bob's production data, I've deciphered the info. My set has "TS-4-O" stamped on the back of the chassis. I'll assume the "O" is a "D". The serial number is 13604 which would be a very early 1948 set. The stamped date reads March 6, 1946, which I assume the "6" is a mis-stamped "8".
Thanks Bob for all your info!
