This looks like it's one of the GE clock radios, of the 1950 era. They sold jillions of them. The swirl in the plastic is sort of pretty.
The plastic isn't bakelite, but some kind of a styrene, so I would guess. It will break like bakelite does, but it breaks jagged, whereas bakelite breaks clean. Don't go trying this out, now. Those sets were "nothing" sets, but yet decent as cluck radios went. I think they were the 7 pin AA5 tube complement.
