This looks like an early Philco. Look at the model numbers with a 2-digit fairly low model number, such as Philco Model 20, plus or minus a few numbers. Ed M

::My hunch was right although it is not a model 20 but I looked in my "Radio set socket guide " book ,and under "Pliladelphia Storage battery company" name before Phico is a model 62 or 65 with same tube layout .This is exciting!! There is a small plastic (bakelite)box under the chassis that may be one of those Philco block capacitors.Thanks ED M for the info!
