It would be difficult to give you even an estimate on true value as you do not state condition - is it working? - your pictures are not sufficient to determine the condition of your cabinet which is very important to anyone wishing to restore a vintage item.

There are always a very large number of this style/type of radios available for sale and many more available in all the different brands so they are not rare or in great demand.
This is the 1939 model and if it is working and in very good condition it would probably be valued at $100-$150 but anything below that stated condition may not be worth $25-$35 and may never sell.
This unit uses tubes and these can be difficult to locate and may be expensive so that is the problem if the radio is not in good working order; the speakers must be in good condition and the sound at least passable.
You can look at some past auctions to see how your set matches up and that will help you determine the value of your set.
This set sold on eBay in January 2019 for $139.95 plus shipping but the seller had relisted this unit many times before it sold. It looks to be in very good condition.

You can always do your own research with Google and your unit information. This link has some images for this unit and you can click on each picture to see if it still for sale or if it sold. There will be some that maybe sold at auctions that will not give you a sold price unless you are a member. Research takes a lot of time to find anything worth saving.
Some of these links will give you a lot of valuable information about this unit.

If yours (condition, working status, and make up) is this one exactly, then your value in today's market is 139.00 plus shipping:

www.ebay.com/.../163458901915?hash=item260ee8e79b...

One that looks like yours sold on eBay, but without knowing the exact features of yours and condition I can't tell you if yours is worth that much--or more if it is in even better working shape.

It will give you a ballpark.

I can also tell you if yours does not work, you can probably take it apart and if you can tell which parts work and which don't, you can make more from the parts than the whole. It is weird, but true!

Post back and update!!
