This is a 5 tube superheterodyne, "All American 5" (AA5) Bakelite table radio that tunes the AM broadcast band. It was an unexpected gift from my son and his wife, thanks guys!

In 1929, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) purchased the Victor Talking Machine Company, then the world's largest manufacturer of phonographs including the famous "Victrola" and phonograph records.
The company then became RCA Victor. In absorbing Victor, RCA acquired the rights to the famous trademark dog "Nipper" (His Master's Voice).
