Foo! Man that thing is spooky lookin......I didn't know they have TV's back in the Victorian era Went to your site and saw your mention of that chassis being used in the bar sets....think about it, at the time so few people could afford TV so what better thing to draw more customers into a bar than a TV? (besides free beer and naked broads I mean). I bet for a while larger bar TV's were big business for many of the TV makers.
