I only find two schematics that match your tube line-up in Rider's: 

A LaFayette model A18 found in Rider's 8-4.  Volume 8 is from 1937.  The 
set has a 5 position band switch, 4 controls total in a tombstone 
cabinet marked LaFayette on the dial.

A TCA (Transformer Corp. of America)  model "Clarion" TC66 in Rider's 
10-6.  Volume 10 is from 1939 and the set has a 3 position band switch 
and tone control.  No idea what the set looked like.

Neither of these sets sound like your's.  I go along with Marty's 
suggestion that the set was made by Detrola.  In 1941, Detrola Radio & 
Television Corp was located at 1501 Beard Ave., Detroit, Mich.  Good 
chance it was branded as something other than Detrola.

Can you send me a picture or post one on your web site?
