Majestic chairside

Found a "Majestic" brand AM/FM chairside (or, more accurately, the remains thereof) at a recent yard sale for $5. Due to rain exposure and previous poor storage, most of the wood is in very poor condition, though almost all of the decorative parts survived or are good enough to copy, and the metal bezels around the radio face and speaker are in nice condition, as are the dial and plastic knobs. Current plan is to salvage the decorative wood, measure the rest, and tuck the radio and metal bits in a box for later restoration. Anyone familiar with this brand? It has the postwar FM band only, and apparently had a 4x6 field coil or onboard-transformer alnico speaker in it's original configuration. Somewhere along the way a separate output transformer was installed. The radio chassis seems to be very well-built, my guess is that it was a fairly high-end model, but I haven't found any chassis or model numbers yet.
