I.S Cohen's and Sons LTD., 1025 Market Street San Fransisco, don't know if they were a Philco dealer but they apparently tested the tube on the 17th of January 1935. I wonder what's located at 1025 Market Street these days? It looks good so far but that brown vinyl power cord needs to go, my Philco 96 had a cloth one but it is two years older. I know where a Micheal's Craft store is but we don't have any JoAnnes Stores here, maybe I will look in Fabric Land but I'm not optimistic about what they may have in terms of glue sticks.
