Hi Machinefaction,

I took a stab at searching through the Radiomuseum.org website and found what looks like your model:

There's no photo shown, just a factory drawing. But it has most of the characteristics of your case and grille cloth placement.
A similar model (with a different case) from the same year shows a pretty accurate match to your knobs and dial glass:

I would bet yours is a Philco 49-1600. But I'm sure there are older (and wiser) folk here on the forum who can confirm this!

Hope that helps!
