Hello and welcome!
Philco 28C and 45C table models are identical in appearance.
28C: http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1935a.htm#i
45C: http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1935a.htm#u
The difference? The 28 is an AC/DC set while the 45 has a power transformer, and is made for AC only.
What looks like a small black transformer in the back of your 28C is actually a filter choke. The 45 has a real power transformer in this position, and it is much larger than that choke used in the 28.
So, yours is genuine, it is a 28C.
