The Silvertone 6407/8/9 odd dial
Does anyone know for sure how the small dial on these nice little deco bakelite sets were originally designed? Although it looks rather uninteresting, the rear dial lamp is almost completely obscured by the metal dial face! Only a small amount of light comes around it. I see on the Net that other collectors have been curious about this too over the years. Also, most examples, including mine, do not have a dial lens. I believe the few that do have so by collectors adding one themselves, but I don't know for sure. Does anybody?
