Maybe someone hand built the chassis from a Hallicrafters kit. Also, I know the National Radio Institute had kits for students to build as part of their home school by mail programs. I have a whole NRI course from the late 40s. The info is GREAT! Back then they didnt just teach you to replace things, they tought you how and why each component is used after they tought you the whole electrical theory Ohms Law, I=V/R, protons, neutrons, electrons. Once was a time....

If anybody ever comes across any NRI hardware it can be very valueable. I sold a hand built oscilloscope for $600. Couldnt believe it. No, I'm not one of those pukes that misrepresent their product hoping some poor fool will think he is getting a "rare" museum piece or something. I have never sold anything on Ebay, yet. This guy offered me what I got out of the blue after hearing me talk about it on another forum. No way I could refuse but I have wondered what the thing was really worth if he jumped to offer $600.
