The Radiola line was made for the smaller non-franchised dealers. They were pure RCA in design. IIRC, the chassis numbers were the same.
They were only available in a few models, usually on the lower end.

Interesting! So Radiola was an entity unto it's own meaning my Radiola IS a Radiola radio. Or if I were around then I may opt for I guess a better RCA radio. I never knew they were low end. But I don't know much at all it seems. I simply thought that collectors of really old went for the Radiola, so I thought it was something special. I didn't think that they were still being produced as late as this one is. I always think 20s and 30s....
