Since it has channel one, it must be from '48, although I always thought it was a '49. Most companies had very similar models in both '48 and '49. By '48 channel one was gone for TV, and off TV dials by mid-year.

To the right of the fine tuning is another knob which says station select and changes the channel, supposedly this set goes up to 13 but another member on the FB vintage tv forum thinks the drive belt has slipped and it stops at 13 but the indicator just says 8. This set was brought from the northern areas of the US as tv didn't come to middle TN until 52/53.
