The tag on the front glass makes me think that this may have been an RPM manufactured set to show off RPM manufactured radio parts. As a long time collector of 1920's era radio, if it were mine I would certainly find a place of honor for it in my collection.
I hope this helps...

Thanks Terry; For your insight on this ornate obscure piece of technology,The top does separate easily (that will be another round of pictures including infared exposures when i fire it up for the first time). Funny how i found this one, I picked up a Admiral 24X12A bakalite tv and on the way out out of the store i noticed a Radiola 100 loud speaker and the RPM. Although it falls short of the highly desired Atwater Kent bread board sets and say a Northern Electric with peanut tubes, It does have a visual appeal.
