That is a real shame, sorry. And, no, I would never wish for anyone's radios to be damaged, even if they painted them pink with green zebra stripes.

Sorry, but I do not believe that your set is original. Prove it with photos. While I will admit that with Philco, anything is possible, in my experience any Canadian Philco that I have ever seen that had a cabinet matching an American model was finished the same as the USA set.

My 45C has darkened a lot with age and appears to be nearly black, but I have no doubt that underneath the dirt and the age, that is an Extra Dark Walnut finish.
