Bakelite?
#8

Two points here. The set was definitely made in 1950 through 1952. I believe it used 7 pin miniature equivalents of the "All american Five" tubes. These sets were in the stores when I was Icollege in 1950-52. They were nreally well made. Indeed, they would have a Telechron clock movement. GE Owned Telechron!

But, be careful about putting heating devices in the timed outlet on this set. I don't think that the clock contacts will stand up under the heavy current drawn by your coffee pot. I seem to recall that they specified a wattage limit for the outlet, somewhere on the back panel of the set.
