Your radio is 1938-39 vintage. I do not know the value.

Ed: Is that model Canadian? It isn't listed in my price guides.

The market for consoles tends to be "thin." Shipping is dificult and expensive. Also, after they are restored, they take up a lot of room in the house, so many admiring collectors just can't have more than one or two consoles. Value will strongly depend upon condition.

If you're wanting to sell it, probably your best bet is to take it to an antique radio swap-meet. There, potential buyers can inspect it and cart it away themselves.

Attractive consoles from that era in decent condtion, complete with knobs, speaker, etc., often sell for less than $200, some less than $100. I say "attractive," because some consoles may seem rather dominating or even grotesque alongside modern decors. For me, it's a little easier to sneak in another table model past my wife.
