Yes, 1938 give or take a year. I used to see quite a few Defiants when we lived in the NE where the Co-Op movement was strong, and still have a couple of consoles from this period. The tuning dials of both somewhat resemble your set, but one is the massive MSH957 - motorised tuning and wavechange and push-pull AC4/PENs so around 12W output - while the other is a fairly ordinary superhet that doesn't have pushbutton station selection. That's a feature that hardly returned at all in even top-of-range models after WWII.
