Here are a few more radios saved from the fireplace. See post below.
Packard Bell table top set with stationized dial (West Coast Stations).

10 tube Packard Bell model 51 as found (chassis removed).
Restored model 51. This appears to be a 1939 model though no other examples or schematics have been found.
The enclosed back was one of the things that drew me to this radio.
Though damaged, I was able to save and repair the remaining photo-finish. The grill cloth on both the front and back is original.

Push-pull 6V6 tubes are capable of overdriving the speaker. Four 6J5 tubes are employed including one used as a second detector. There must have been a sale on 6J5s. A 6SK7 is used as an RF amp. The power transformer (potted box) seems to be undersized but runs at a comfortable temperature.
Emerson DM-331 from 1939 with Ingraham cabinet
Yes I still need a knob.
This radio has surprisingly good performance for a rather cheaply made chassis. It also has one of the less-interesting Ingraham cabinets but still, a collectors item.
Found under "stuff" at the bottom of a cardboard box.

Zenith 11E from 1927
This line powered radio is the oldest Zenith in the display. The pre-1935 Zeniths seem to be under appreciated.

This radio uses the ZE-9 power supply which slides in alongside of the radio chassis.
Old tar but new rubber wire on the ZE-9
