You may be right, Sam...yes indeed, you may be right.

And Greg, I think you hit upon an excellent point. The 39-711 and 40-715 are the only 1939 and 1940 Philco Tropic models, respectively, to have this sort of bottom trim. The other 1939 and 1940 Philco Tropic models that have wooden cabinets are actually recessed at the bottom. So perhaps it was intended to keep the trim on in case the glue failed. Who knows? Only some dead guys from Philco from back in the day...and dead men tell no tales.
