I cannot comment on the TV in the Ebay listing. It may or may not have actual wood case. A question to the seller could answer this question. I have seen many RCAs, Motorolas, and Hoffmans from this era that have masonite cases. Metal was also commonly used (sometimes with a wood grain pattern applied).

As to the Zenith radio with the upside down chassis. I think that I have one in a box in my garage, un-restored at present. I will need to check.

Motorola also liked to use the decal, making some of their radios from the 1940 very difficult to restore if damaged.
