.... and .... having read the radio specifications from the link above (for the 101), it only has two SW bands, but three "bandspread" dials .... not often we see "band spread" on consumer sets. GE made one in the fifties, (X371/CX371) a huge table top set with a half-round dial and two chassis'. This Philco looks to be a nice compact set by comparison.
