Anyone know about Watterson Speakers?

Greetings,

I just came across a pair of Texas made Watterson speakers. They appear to be from the 1950-60's. They are a two-way design with one 8" mid woofer
and one horn tweeter which looks to be about 6-7". They sound very good with my Magnavox 5 WPC tube amp. One thing that I am curious about is the design.
One cabinet has the woofer on top of the tweeter and the other has the tweeter on top of the woofer. Has anyone else seeing this type of configuration?

Thanks
