This is a not-often-found Sanyo that's slightly different from the Sanyo 6C-11 and Sanyo's look-alike Channel Master 6506.
This 6C-18 has a tuning dial with script numerals, a textured grille that's not as nice as the Channel Master's grille, and its cloisonne badge on the grill says "Sanyo" rather than "6TR" -- and there are a number of other small differences as well. The transistors here in the 6C-18 are Sanyo transistors rather than the Toshibas found in the Channel Master 6506.
