QST Sep 1935, p. 69. (Not specifically referred to as model H.)

Referred to in some ads as the "Tobe Amateur Communications Receiver." Also as the Model H.
The Model H was sold as a partially assembled kit. The tuning unit was pre-wired and aligned. The purchaser finished assembling and wiring the 7 -tube receiver. It covered the 160, 80, 40, and 20 meter amateur bands.
A review in Radio News, Sep 1935, p. 147 indicates it is made by Browning. The 1936 Allied catalog listing also seems to suggest that this is the Browning 35. If you compare images in the three sources listed, there are some differences in appearance.
