That was what I was thinking X-Ray Bill, the dial and control layout doesn't look like a mid 1960s radio, maybe late 1940s early 50s at the newest. Then you look at the back and you can clearly see that the cabinet is made out of particleboard, maybe with teak veneer, but still particleboard, unfortunately.
Those fan/rainbow shaped dials were quite popular in Canada at one time, I have two DeForest Crosley sets that have a similar dial, some Canadian Majestics were similar.
