Welcome to the world of Philco radios. :-)
DO NOT plug in a 74 year old un-restored radio!!!
You can do irreparable and permanent damage to major components.
Battery sets were common in that era from many radio manufacturers. They were
primarily meant for the rural and farm markets before the Rural Electrification Act of 1936
was enacted to bring commercial a/c power to outlying areas of the country.
See my website (below) for my schematic and service info photocopy service
for your 1937 Philco. Click on the Schematic Info link there.
Regards,
Chuck
