Bit of advertising license there.  The FGT line control dial unit on the
right hand side wasn't availaible until 1949.  And although the Lo15 printer
shown originated in 1935, it was continued right through until the 1960's.
The Lo15 was made under license to the Teletype corp and was their version
of the T15.

Although I don't have a firm date for the wooden cased arrangement, Lorenz
advertising literature shown this arrangement in colour brochures, so I
suspect mid to late 50's or even later.  And $5k starting price is
overblown - even for a pristine pre-war T32Lo or T36Lo.  Hell, I restored a
1938 T32Lo that was *donated* free of charge to Bletchley Park museum.
