Antique tube radio - Brandes radio - bakelite?

This antique or vintage Brandes tube radio is 12 inches long by 8 inches high by 8 inches deep. It appears to be Bakelite, but I don't know for sure as I can't find any info on this particular model. There are NO stickers or markings on the back of this unit. The cord is intact but NOT tested due to age. I have not opened the back.

The mesh speaker in front that you see is some sort of metal. The dial has a great art deco mid century look to it. It has three knobs and while I can't say for sure, they seem to belong to this radio.

Sadly, there is a crack on the top of the case. It's pictured, and runs the full depth of the case (front to back). There is residue of some sort along the edges of the crack.

It weighs almost ten pounds, and despite its flaws it is SO beautiful. The case is dark brown in color.

Very unusual collectible piece.
