Hello and welcome.
Philco did not build any radios for civilian use (i.e. the general public) from March 1942 until very late 1945 or the beginning of 1946, after World War II had ended. (For that matter, neither did any other domestic radio manufacturer.)
Philco began to tout its "Special Services" band during the 1953 selling season. This may have continued into the 1954 season; I am not sure at present.
Does your radio have a label with a model number on it? (It probably starts with "53".)
If not, can you post a photo of it please?
