Thank you both for alerting me ^_^
Yes, these have beautiful dials!
Just a bit of Trivia, Westinghouse was manufacturing radios for RCA through the 1920s with General Electric. After 1930, GE and Westinghouse were able to market radios on their own, however they were still interconnected with RCA. Starting 1935, Westinghouse and GE broke away from RCA. GE manufactured their own radios and Westinghouse had theirs made by American Bosch.
So this is actually an American Bosch radio with Westinghouse's name. I don't know why Westinghouse did that. After WWII Westinghouse indeed made their own radios and televisions.
