I'm no expert on the regen look over the years, fer shure, but all the 
Pan Am sets from 1929 to 1939 seem to have the same tuning dials and 
"look" of the one in the 1929 article from Aviation magazine.  The 
original 1929 article link I sent has a photo ( 
http://www.oldbeacon.com/beacon/pan_american_radio_1929.htm ).  The link 
I sent on the one in Smithsonian collection dates about 1933 (

), and the two photos at 
http://www.clipperflyingboats.com/pan-am/boeing-b314 are from 1939 (one 
a color post card).  Just so I can get smarter, what did you have in 
mind when you said, "The appearance is not 1929", Hue?
