Bought this old guy on Ebay 10+ years ago. It covers 152-162 MHz. The later mid 50's Policalarms in the plastic/bakelite cases seem more common, but I've never seen one in a wood case before. Any idea how old this one is? Late 40's / early 50's?

It has a solid aluminum rod for an antenna, which mounts to a screw terminal on the rear panel.

The construction is fairly primitive, almost home made. The dial is a paper-thin plastic, and the pointer appears to be heavy paper with a red line painted on.
