I am fairly certain that the set is bakelite, although I have seen it identified as thermo-plastic. Easy to tell with a slightly destructive "melt test" in an inconspicuous area.

Seems likely, there is *no* reason to have a switch on *both* the tone (where it would be in this model) and volume controls.
