Mystery remote mystery
#1

Hello all, I am new to this forum, so please bear with me if I seem unknowledgeable about Philco radios. My Father was sort of a electronic geek from the 40's. I remember he had an old zenith TV in the basement that took about an hour to warm up and the screen was about 4"x4", but he kept the danrned thing working. I think he gave it away to someone before he moved to FL 20 years ago (sigh, I wish he had kept it!). Any was he passed away a few years back and I've been going through the stuff in the garage and I found an old Philco mystery remote. I have found some things about it in general online, but this one in particular has me stumped. The serial Number on the back of the unit is 5 N 011820. I can't find any corresponding numbers to match this online. On the inside there are 2 part numbers: 10350-A on side of box, and 38-9704 on the flywheel/gear bracket. The box is also made of wood, unlike others I've seen mentioned online. Can any one give me any clues as to when this was made? How much it could be worth?
Thanks for any help.
