That's a Philco 50T-1403. It's a 12" B&W set from 1950 and $50 is a good price in that condition. Having a nice original finish along with all the correct knobs and back is a plus. If you want it to be functional again, the picture tube is a concern as replacements are kinda hard to find and may run you $100 or more.
Oh and I'm not sure what you mean by roundie but in the TV collecting community it means early color TV with a round picture tube. They first came out in 1954. B&W sets were all round up until around 1950-51 when they switched to rectangular. Making a rectangular color picture tube was much more difficult and didn't happen until the mid 60s.
