It's definitely a Barker-88-alike: the rear panel [which is plywood rather than the more-commonly-found pressed cardboard] is a dead giveaway.

I note here https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/barker...radio_838.html the mention of a Barker 838

[I've got one of the later 88's here, it's one of the B7G types with a pair of N78 valves as output and a 5Y3 as rectifier]
