De Luxe Mfg. Co.

I have a salesman's game form for giving away a De Luxe radio.  It says the manufacturer is

De Luxe Mfg. Co.

173 West Madison Street

Chicago, Ill.

They make a small mantle set with a chrome front with the model number of 405.  The set has the schematic pasted to the bottom.  I have the set and the sales game form.  Should it be included in this listing?

The set was made for De Luxe by Warwick Manufacturing.

Dear Robin,

the models presented here originate from Stein. While the publications are really good works, they do contain errors, and sometimes are based on rudimentary information - which happens after 70 years...

We haven't been able to ascertain a manufacturer for these sets yet. They could in theory originate from different manufacturers, too (Deluxe could have been part of the model name, or description).

The De Luxe Mfg. Co. did not leave many traces, your radio can easily be found however, along with a car radio, and a later 1935 tombstone.

I think it would be wise to create a new manufacturer with the data and sets we have proof for, even if that means creating a potential doublet. That way the "unknown" Deluxe can remain as it is, and be left for later examination.

Kind regards
Mark

I've moved the thread to the newly created model. Please don't forget to also upload some images!

You mention model 405 here in your forum post, but the model created is no. 403. Whcih is correct?

Kind regards
Mark

My set is the 405.  The schematic on the bottom is for the 403, 405 & 406.  I am adding all three.
