Hi Lisa and welcome to the Phorum,
I think what you have is a sort of a mutt all be it all Philco. The chassis is from a 39-6, the dial might be from TH-1 Transitone, and the cabinet an undocumented one. My thought is that Philco bought Simplex Radio about time. They were making some Transitones for Philco. This set may have been put together from spares to clear out inventory.
Service info for the 39-6: https://philcoradio.com/library/download...20Book.pdf

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
