✅ SOLVED Trouble id`ing brass radio / TV plate

[B|lker]

Has anyone seen any thing like this?
I`ve searched everything that deals with car and home radio, TV and CB`s.
There`s are no markings on the back and measures 4-inches x 2 and 1/8 inches approximate.

Hope everyone is having a great day and thank`s for any help in advance.

Is that a logo bottom left? Hard to see. Old AM radio maybe with a rotary dial. I vusualize it having a large thumb wheel type control like the Philco on the right. Sorry not much help.

Thanks for your input Bigcypresshunter
I`ve taken a close up of the Logo and it looks to me like a man with a beard in a driving hat?
I have searched a few CB radio sites but found nothing with that finger rolling channel selector.
It almost looks like the letters CB around his head?

You did a geat job showing how it might have looked.

Thanks for looking everyone and HH.

You have an old AM radio dial plate. Probably 1930's to 1940's.
I do not recognise the logo. Look in old AM radio manafacturers.
There were a whole slue of folks wh made the Edison, Belmont, Sears, Silvertone. etc.
WAY before CB came along.

The logo is key. Whats a driving hat? This is solvable but will take some searcdhing.

Could it be a pirate? EB?

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Looks like an EB. Could it be Edison Bell?

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Do the letters look something like this?

That definitely looks like it. Is this for Edison Bell?

No sorry I cannot find a match with Edison Bell. The logo is from a 1925 company no longer in business. I found it on a trademark site that sells old inactive dead logos. Logo Trademarks with a EB Inside the Logo

The company did not make radios as far as I can determine. So I think its a dead end but I was just asking if the letters are the same. Its solvable for someone with time to search.

Darnnit (sp) Bigcypresshunter you have got me all excited again because i believe the logo you posted is correct
Iv`e already spent an hour tonight looking for the plate even on military items.
I`ll keep looking; and try to clean it up a bit with some baking soda for better pics of the front and back.
Thanks for looking ALL.

Still not solved! Although I did not post I also have come to several dead ends.
One promising lead was ham radio's, but that dead ended too.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

The logo looks correct but no pirate. NOT solved.

OK, I've got a little closer. The emblem belongs to a radio maker called American Bosch.

Yep thats it. How did you guess it was AB? Is that a dog with googles?

 

[vhs07]

I can't make out what the emblem is supposed to be. Either a guy with flying goggles
or driving goggles. this company did make car radios.
