I had one of these sets for a long while without knowing what actual model it was (besides being an "American midget").
The most recent patent number on the back would date it to c.1932, which fits with the styling. ("Vintage Radio" by Morgan McMahon has a list of the first American patent numbers for even dated years from 1900 to 1950, Jan 1932 starts with 1,850,000).
