I do have this one in "The Collector's Guide to Antique Radios".
As you may know the Atwater-Kent brand was sold by Mongomery Wards. Your
Model was build in 1929. There are several furniture size radios of this
type.
There were the "Furniture size radios" of the model 55 type.
1. Kiel table with 6 wooden legs inner front window dial with 3 knobs and
lift top. This one the book has the price at $225.00
2. A Console with center front window dial w/escutcheon, 3 knobs, AC, in
various console cabinets.
There are pictures of both of these sets in the book. The console is really
good looking. The book has this set for $125.00
