There's not an original antenna per se. It is set up to be used with a random length wire (more than 6 inches!) or one of the outdoor dipoles that Philco had on the market at the time that served most all of their radios.

You'll get excellent performance with a random wire, preferably outdoors, as long and high as possible.
