The National HROs were "Top Flight" sets back then. Introduced in 1935, they went thru several models, up til the HRO-60s of the early 1960s. You had to buy coil sets of what frequencies you wanted to listen to, which were matched to each individual radio. Typically, the power supply was a separate piece, too, til the HRO-50 models. If you get one, try to make sure it has the 2 coils for AM/MW work, they can be tough to find. National FINALLY "Broke Down" & introduced a radio that didn't need coilsets, the NC-173 & NC-183 series in the late forties.
