I'd say the Spragues are original. The only "modern" thing I see is the Motorola cap. Cloth wiring looks great, old B-E-D resistors are colorful (but may have drifted off into space?) and the xfrmr isn't drippy. I like it.

That's a zero to one-hundred dial which they soon got away from in the early thirties. It was not uncommon for people to write stations on the dial. I turned down (regrets!) a 1930 Edison console (for thirty bucks!) a few years ago. That set was designed to light up a portion of the dial where the owner could write in call letters. One of the stations written in was famous flagship WEAF, ancient of days. Maybe keep your scribbled stations, history of the chassis.
