Looks like mid-late 50's. if you can give us a model number, we can be a little more accurate.
If you're getting static and snow, I'd first try changing the tubes in the tuner, and then the IF tubes. This thread actually should be over in the B&W forum.

A set that old should have all the wax capacitors replaced. The fact that you get noise and snow means that the major components of the set are still working, but a wax cap that is leaky ( usually every last one is today) may mis bias a tube and draw excessive current thru something else damageing it if the set is run for very long.
A dirty tuner could kill reception.
