Bud,
I went through the Silvertone radios in the Mallory Encyclopedia and could not find a tube line up that matched your radio.

Bud,
The Colonial 650 is another possibility that uses a 41 instead of a 6V6.

Solved the mystery!! This radio was made for Silvertone by Mission Bell. Model 3859. Modified for use with push button tuning. Schematic can be found in Rider's Vol. 10; Mission Bell 10-10. IF 465 KC.
Designed in 1937; probably a 1938 model.

I just bought one, Serial #51591
