Your cabinet is identical to the USA model 58C. The Gallery shows a 58C in photofinish which is in error - my mistake from years ago. ![Icon_redface Icon_redface](https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
The first version of the USA model 54C has inlaid veneer where yours has a routed groove. A later (initial 1935 model year) version of the 54C and 59C used photofinish on the front panel. The January 1935 (mid-year) 54C and 59C used a different cabinet.
The model 53C cabinet is very different.

Does your have the original metal back, or is it missing as it is on so many of these sets?
