Thanks fellas!

Well, I was looking the cabinet over and decided to remove the old serial number and model number labels from inside the cabinet. To my surprise, there was this label underneath the serial number label! It looks like this cabinet was originally for a Model 38 chassis code 123. What is strange is that Philco stuck the serial number label over the chassis 38 label and the the "new" label was marked as a 60B. I guess this might be why the label with ID the chassis and tube compliment was torn off! Of course that label could have been removed in the last 80 years by someone too! I never would have known that if I didn't decide to remove the old labels. BTW, I've made up some new labels to take there place. I'll also order some new chassis labels from Vintage Radio Labels.

Here are the original labels.

Here is a up close of the serial number label.
