Allen, yes I saw those.

I am sure though there wasn't one the way it is shown with the smaller knob in the two mentioned ads as it shows the switch raised in the middle, which it is not (it is in line with the volume and tone knobs), and then it also shows a wrong escutcheon (it seems to be from one of the Philco 17B or 18B). The 1934 ad shows both the correct escutcheon and correct knob.

I think it might be because they did not have the actual chassis in their hands when writing the ad and combined the Philco 17 and Philco 90 Icon_smile to get the image.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
