It's an RCA sourced chassis. Made before, RCA licensed the design to others.

Interesting! So most (if not all) of the early RCA clones were produced in the RCA factory. Was this only the chassis, or did RCA build the entire set? I have read that by this point in time (after 1958) the DuMont brand (at least for TV sets) was owned by Emerson, so I wonder where the set was assembled; Emerson factory?, RCA factory?, or perhaps Emerson acquired the DuMont factory and continued production there?
Perhaps some interesting history in this beat-up old set!
