Default Vintage Sears Silvertone radio safety question

Hey guys completely and utterly new to radios but we bought an old Streamlined bullet radio 6179 for a prop to display in the living room.

I may be a bit paranoid but I am concerned about the safety of them as I heard they sometimes contained asbestos.
I will try and attach a few pictures and im unsure if its asbestos or just dust and hairs which have accumulated.
There is also a white thing at the left of the case but I'm unsure if this is a piece of cardboard as there is a wiring diagram/instructions on the left in the same place

Does anyone know about the safety of these old radios by this company and if they did contain asbestos or fiberglass.

Thanks so much
