PHILCO PHORUM

Philco
for 1931 (introduced Fall 1931)
ALL JUNE 1931 MODELS
CONTINUE IN THE PHILCO LINEUP
| MODEL 50 BABY
GRAND (Early version)
A few examples of these have popped
up in recent years. It is obviously a Model 70 Baby Grand
cabinet that has been redrilled in the bottom to accept the
Model 50 chassis, and with a new front panel drilled to fit the
50 chassis. While it was initially thought that these were
"custom jobs" done by collectors years after the fact, enough of
these have now been found to establish their originality.
Original selling price: Not
available
Number made: 288,620 (NOTE: This figure includes production of
March 1931 Models 21 & 46 Baby Grands, as well as June 1931
Models 35, 46 & 70 Baby Grands) |
