Yes! I like that 1948 one especially. The way the cabinet is fitted together so cubically, the grille treatment, very late '40's modern.
The lighting must have been skewed to incandescent or something for the pictures to turn out so orange except in the last one where you can see it's blonde. I sorta like the orange better!

When I was an impressionable kid (oh, 10 minutes ago? kidding...) I saw a print ad for that set on the left, though I want to say the one in the ad looked white. (might have just looked that way) Every time I think of a porthole, I think of that one.
