Hi Jim
This model was designed for the Philco High Efficiency All-Wave Aerial, an illustration of which may be seen here:

Alternatively, it may be used with a simple longwire antenna connected to the screw terminal in the back of the set labelled RED. At the very least, a piece of insulated wire connected to the RED terminal and run along the baseboard of the room you have the set in is better than nothing.
These models did not have built-in antennas. The first Philcos to employ built-in loop antennas were not introduced until June 1939 as part of the new 1940 model lineup.
