What radio is this?
#1

I obtained this little radio in Tulsa easily 40 years ago. I'm now trying to figure out what model it is, and perhaps also figure a way to restore it in something resembling original. I have not tried to turn it on, as I was told not to even think about it until the unit was checked out. Label says Chassis type 53, Code 121 which doesn't appear on a Google search, I remember being told years ago this was a late 1920's-early 1930's radio but that's anecdotal evidence only. Thanks for any help!
