Nice find ! Looks like the restoration is coming along very well

"Checkout this thread: http://www.antiqueradios.com/forums/...45c23c0d6be727
It kinda looks like the radio is sitting on top of that little table/stand "

My 2cents (or less worth): For a couple of reasons, I think that "stand" was originally part of the radio and has been cut off.

1. It appears that the "grooves" on the corners of the radio continue down the legs in an unbroken pattern, except for the flare out at the bottom of the radio.
2. The "stand" would be very weak as a separate piece... note that it is braced only near the bottom, with no bracing near the top. If the legs were a part of the radio, it would be quite strong with the radio itself serving as the top bracing.

Might be fun to fabricate a replacement.
