That's what I thought at first, or that it may have been a battery set, or a Canadian only model, but it has a line cord and it does not have a serial number plate on the chassis. Console top table radios seem to have been a cabinet style more common in Canada then the US, Canadian Westinghouse built a whole series of them in that era, and Philco made some under the "Tropic " series. I think that Mr.Ramirez should cut and paste a picture of this radio for his gallery.
Best Regards
