Oh dear, you're right. I magnified the photo and it does say Silvertone. The seller probably isn't as familiar with Silvertone and thought it said Sylvania.

The photo suddenly has less value to me.

The knobs on the set on the cover of the photofact look exactly like the knobs on my '49 Sylvania though. I wonder if Sylvania/Colonial Radio made the set for Sears? The photofact for the Silvertone 163-16, 1952, shows the same knobs also.

I have wondered about that also, my Silvertone 9123 somewhat resembles your avatar. When you mentioned that your Sylvania had an oscillator type HV supply, I quickly pulled out the Photofact for the Silvertone, to see if it also had the "coffee can" HV supply, but it does not. I still think that there may have been some "shared resources" between the two companies.
