I finally figured out what the Radio was, its an 84WG-1804 and its from about 1950 or so. I took the chassis out of the cabinet and was expecting to see a bunch of old paper caps inside but what I actually saw was that the radio had been recapped previously in the 1960s because there were a bunch of Brown Drops with 1960 date codes on them, and a couple of Sprague "Atoms" electrolytics in the radio with a 1960 date code as well, and the radio only had 4 original paper caps left in the unit which I was able to replace with some caps I already had on hand.

I now need to repair the speaker because the original speaker cone has a bunch of tears in it, I also need to repair the grill cloth.

Other than that its in really good shape yet, and the radio is working really well yet.
