That's a model G500.
It was considered a "transition" model, in between the technologically obsolete pre-WWII models, and the "all-new" H500 that came later.
The G500 was introduced in Oct/Nov 1949 as a 1950 model, and was produced through May, 1951.
The G500 used miniature tubes instead of loktal, fewer tubes, no selenium rectifier, and featured much longer battery life.
It is considered by many collectors as one of the most beautiful Trans-Oceanics.
Nice find!
