This is a low-cost metal GE "lunchbox" radio made during the peak of the Depression. The model M-40 cross-references to a RCA 102. This radio was purchased in its pristine condition from ebay for $10 and was already repaired. It still has the original resistance line cord that unsurprisingly gets quite warm after the radio operates for a few minutes. The cord is notorously known as a "curtain burner" for being placed too close to window curtains and catching them on fire.
