Hi Rita and Welcome to the Phourm!
To answer your question it was produced in 1933 and 34 according to Ron's gallery. After looking at the pics/links Ron posted which one do you have? What some of plans do you have for it?
Agree with TA that it's good performer and has Good SW coverage as it tunes form the AM broadcast band to 18 MC. There's a lot of foreign broadcast from about 5MC up to the 18MC.
As CF sez if it hasn't been serviced in the last 10 or 15yrs it's probably due for a good going over. Without this if you try to use it you could easily damage the set and make it harder and more costly to repair.
Good Luck
Terry
ps Never clean a Philco dial (the orange/yellow part with the printing on it) with ANYTHING but odorless mineral spirits (OMS). Anything any WILL take the printing right off GONE FOREVER! Don't ask me how I know
