Does it say "PHILCO" on front with "TROPIC" in smaller letters below that?

I believe you have a postwar Tropic there. Very cool, and many of these are quite unlike their USA radios.

Yes, Philco made radios in Canada, in London, and contracted with another company to make them in Australia.

More later...bedtime and I'm tired...hmmm, we need a smilie for "yawn."
