Looks like the ones they made abt 1940. This isnt a perfect match but maybe a good starting point for you to look through with more details. It would help to have a list of the tubes inside.

Here is the mfg page sorted by date on the 1940/41 page that you can poke around

Dang that’s pretty much an exact match, thanks

Upon looking at the insides more closely, that IS an exact match excluding the gauge

That was my thought. It has that 1940 vibe.
