OK! We have a winner! Icon_biggrin

The dial part number was the key: You have a chassis from a 1940 Model PT-25 (or PT-25, PT-39). Same chassis in three different style cabinets. Your tube lineup matches as well. The tube you cannot read is a 7C6 (or should be).

BTW, that 39-5955 is the Philco Part Number for that white paper tag itself. Part numbers with a 39-xxxx are paper products, tags, stickers, pamphlets, etc.
