Wouldn't that be the make right there?  If you can figure out if that 1st letter is an 'A' for sure then Kenton K nailed it.

Not I.  I know very little about AE stuff.  The other stamps look like a match to a type 41 receiver mentioned in this post.

They date from the 40s-early 50s would be my estimate.  These are a later style used to upgrade existing candlesticks and wall phones with modern receiver elements.

I think this receiver was called a Type 42.Sometimes the type number was close to the year introduced but not always-think type 80etc
