Amazing find! This being a 1942 model, perhaps someone with knowledge that radio production was about to cease for the duration of the war, purchased this "just in case", put it on the attic shelf and promptly forgot about it? Or perhaps it was a gift (Christmas 1941?) that was never used? Who knows for sure. One thing is for certain, 70 + year-old NOS radios don't turn up very often!
