Hi,
Need help for identifying this model, probably PHILCO, may be model 51 538 (1951) but clock is missing. Stamped on chassis : model 50 52 5121
Is it correct ?
Thanks for interest and replies,
megawave,
French collector

It's right there in the photo, black ink-stamped on the rear apron of the chassis.

MODEL 50-52? CODE 121 Last digit obscured. A 1950 model.

Could be a 50-520, 522, 524, 526, or 527.
