Well, that set appears to be a 1940 model.....if it has a gold dial faceplate that would probably be accurate to 1939-40.

$75 is a fair price for a set of that vintage, check the model number and I can give you a value. I'm pretty much a Philco expert, so I can help with whatever you need. In this area, consoles are plentiful, and most collectors only want a couple (unlike me, I had 29 Philco consoles at one time!). I've even got an extra Philco speaker here somewhere.

The term "lowboy", and "highboy" refer to sets on legs....a lowboy will have legs less than half the height of the radio, a highboy more than or at least half the height. Mostly referring to late 20s-early 30s stuff.
