This set was made at a time when the industry was changing from older style resistors to the striped ones familiar today. The older resistors were a bar of resistive material with wires wrapped around the ends and were all factory painted like those in your radio, and are read "B.E.D" or Body, End, Dot: the body color is the first digit, the end the second digit, and the dot is the multiplier.
