Very good find keeptrying!!! According to "The collector's guide to Antique Radios" 4th edition, Your radio is worth about $150-175 and was made between 1934 and 1936. Keep in mind that the book was written in 97 and Prices have gone up since then, shame they havn't made a newer book yet!
The short wave part is a differnt band. If you have an adaquate antenna, you might be able to pick up shortwave broadcast from around the world!
If you are planning to play the radio, I would strongly suggest having it re-capped (all new capacitors installed). The old wax capacitors are ticking time bombs. If you play it without replacing them, expect one to explode and cause some damage. Also , have someone look over the radio chassis to inspect for crumbeling chassis wire. You could also have the radio aligned so that It will pick up stations better.
Hold on to that thing, even if you didn't buy it as an investment its still a large one!
