I just bought a small Philco Starlite alarm/radio. Is there anyone who can tell me what year it is, I cannot find a model # anywhere.

A bit too new for us here as was mostly discuss set older than 1950 or so. I'd take a guess and say early 1960's.

I agree with Terry. Just guessing, it's probably no older than 1959 or 1960.
