Other radios based on the same chassis:

5-valve broadcast band mantle radio

The Majestic Mantle** model was introduced to replace the Philco Alabama when the name was relinquished following Philco USA being sold to Ford.  Aside from the dial it this model appears to be identical to its predecessor

**The name 'Mantle' is an assumed one - it would be nice to find some advertising showing the actual name or nickname for this set.
