You can post a picture by uploading it to a free webhost like image shack and then putting the URL in the "Optional Image URL" field. Please do; It's nice to see everyone's radios. You can also use HTML, but it's a little more complicated. It will let you put more than one picture in a post. Here are some instructions.
Your radio sounds like it is in good shape, but I'll bet the capacitors are bad. They almost always are in these old tube radios, and often times, that's all that's wrong with them. Sometimes the tubes are weak, but often times they're fine.
Mongomery Ward used to sell radios made by RCA, Zenith and others manufacturers, branding them as Mongomery Ward "Airline" radios. What I've done with mine is to identify the chassis by its tube set and layout, finding a similar model made by one of the main manufacturers. Then I know the schematic and a rough idea of the date of manufacture.
