This radio must have been marketed after 1963, as the tuning dial does not have the Conelrad icons at 640 and 1240 kHz. These markings were required by U.S. Conelrad regulations on all standard broadcast receivers made between 1953-1963.
BTW, the tuning scale on the knob looks terribly crowded. I guess these radios weren't meant for use in urban or near-suburban areas with strong signals -- it looks like local stations would come in one on top of the other in a really strong signal area, or a city such as Chicago, New York, etc. with many 50kW transmitters operating from one location. Seems to me just one strong station would all but hijack the dial, let alone two or more.
