Pictures of this set are available at Radiomuseum. A picture of the back does not show this loop nor any method of mounting one. The schematic from our Philco Library does not show a loop antenna. For comparison, my 41-255 has a loop antenna which is shown on the schematic.
Many console radios that had a loop antenna had a way to rotate the antenna for best reception as opposed to having to rotate the cabinet. Mid range and high end Zeniths had this feature. The RCA Super VIII (Ca 1925) had an elaborate knob and bevel gear set to rotate the antenna from the front panel. However, this set cost more than a 1925 Model T. ANY 1925 Model T.
