Climax radio in Chicago is a possibility. They made a bunch of radios for third party names in many unusual and ornate cabinet schemes and names;

And my thread on my unbranded Climax...one of their most popular styles. Known as the "angry radio". My tube search told me of a one-off version by Climax of an 8 tube version that did the ID on mine. http://www.nostalgiaair.org is a help under Climax.

One of the answers on the thread also mentions "Plant A". Somewhere in the thread is a link to a tube lineup search. Other internet sources suggest Clinton as "Plant A" with a distinctive orange label...like yours and they are a possiblity also. You could run over to 1217 W. Wash. Blvd. and see if anyone from Clinton has information. I am starting to think Clinton. Don't know much about them.

All my searching did not find a mirror Climax but your link to the auction does show an
oval dial similar to the Climax standard. No eye tube to be seen. And the chassis pic is earlier than mine...1937...but not by much.
