Air King 4607 (1947)
Here is a somewhat rare little Air King radio. This is an all original (lighted dial, dial cover, knobs, grille, speaker, etc.) small five-tuber set in great working condition picking up all my local channels clearly and loudly up and down the dial with its interior loop antenna. All the dial numbering and lettering is crisp and clear. Dial light lights up brightly. Look at the perfect Art Deco type logo font! Original cabinet is smooth glossy condition molded plastic with factory applied gold paint on grille with the Air King logo. Cool little Bakelite world globe between the two small knobs. Most of the the back cover is intact. Air King was located in Brooklyn, NY and manufactured AM radios for the consumer market starting in 1932. Among American radios, Air King was a standout. Later, Air King made radios for Silvertone (Sears), GE, and other companies, and also sold radios under their own name. Ready for play/display & won't take up much space. I pack very well & ship promptly. About 7"W x 6"H x 6"D.

Automatic "Tom Thumb" Unknown (1938)
Here is a great looking tiny midget set from approx. 1938. Model unknown tho it looks similar to the 950 & points to same era. It is all original, including the speaker grille cloth, dial and dial cover, knobs, etc as well as little wooden ornate feet. It has been refinished nicely at some point with the Tom Thumb logo intact. This radio is made by Automatic Radio Manufacturing Co. of Boston, Mass. The company begun in 1920 and is still in business today. It is most famous for producing the Tom Thumb radios in the late thirties. I believe this little Deco model of the Tom Thumb is one of the rarest. I can find no information on this particular model, not even a picture. It plays with the antenna wire attached picking up my local stations, tho I would not call it a strong player. Automatic Radio is also well known for producing after market car radios. A first for the Radio Attic so don't miss out. a must have to complete a Tom Thumb collection. 8"W x 5-3/4"H x 4-1/4"D.

Emerson 157 "Clockette" (1937)
This is an excellent example of a very hard to find small Emerson Art Deco mid-1930's radio affectionately known as a "Clockette." The case is made up of three sections that fit together: an ivory Plaskon front, an ivory Plaskon middle, and a black Bakelite back. These were sold in solid Ivory, solid Black and a combination of two-tone Ivory/Black combinations. And with original ivory matching knobs + metal bottom with factory decal. Also has original rubber feet. Other than a very minuscule hairline on top toward back & down in the fitted groove, this case is perfect, no cracks, hairline cracks or repairs. The original brass dial pointer and brass grille cloth are in place. The model number 157 is stamped into the black Bakelite case back panel. A new cloth line cord has also been added to replace the old tattered resistance line cord and looks original. This is a complete electronic restore (will include the two-page schematic) and the radio is playing fine, picking up my local AM stations with short antenna. This chassis is a four-tube set, and it helps to have an external antenna to get local and distant reception. I am including a long length of antenna wire with the radio. The dial light reflects through the red Emerson logo dot on the front when the radio is on. Difficult to find this model in this condition (I rate it a 9.5 out of 10). I package very well & ship promptly. Midget-sized at about 7"W x 7"H x 5-1/2"D.

Here we have a somewhat rare and very desirable Emerson often called "Wheat" in very original, excellent condition including grille cloth, wood knobs, new cloth covered power cord, and unblemished raised images in fantastic condition. Beautiful example of Emerson repwood cabinet & repro back. This nearly cube shaped cabinet is very small classy & is a show piece. It is the same vintage and size as the "Mickey" 411 & Snow White & uses same chassis. This is a recent restore and tho only a four-tube, one-band, it plays very well picking all my local stations and beyond with ant. extended. Ready for play/display. Only 7-1/2"H x 7"W x 5"D.

Emerson 511 "Moderne" (1947)
Here is a seldom seen Emerson model 511 "Moderne" glossy ivory Beetle Plaskon with bronze/gold marbling swirls. The clear plastic bubble dial cover floats over the gold painted metallic grille, which covers much of the front. A block of ivory Plaskon, whose back has a recess for the pilot light, anchors the dial cover to the cabinet at its top. When you turn on the radio, the illuminated block sheds a soft light over the dial, a beautiful effect. Radio has a cleverly designed molded handle on the top that also served to ventilate the set, as this set is closed on all sides and is designed to be viewed from all angles. The beautiful marbleized Beetle Plaskon cabinet is in great original condition, with no chips, major cracks, burns or repairs. The cabinet has only a slight stress crack in the dark swirls between the two original Plaskon knobs (have to look hard to find). The set retains its original metal bottom. Elevated padded feet + two factory labels. It not only looks great, but plays loud and clear across the AM dial as well. Truly an eye-catching addition to any radio collection. Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. About 11-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D.

Emerson 540 "Emersonette" (1947)
Here is a diminutive, highly collectible 1947 "Emersonette" in totally original condition including, knobs, grille cloth, dial, dial cover, back, speaker, etc. Nice clean chassis. Absolutely no flaws (near mint). Glossy factory new look. Sorry for any reflections (just so shiny). It has also been electronically restored and it a perfect player picking up all my local stations loud us & clear. The black bullet-style knobs, external antenna, dial, dial glass and almost-perfect back panel are original to the set. The dial lights up beautifully in the dark. Ready to play/display! Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. The 540 cases were very fragile and as a result relatively few have survived. Today, the 540 is highly collectible. The 540 was advertised as "the world's smallest ac/dc superhet" and in walnut it had an original list price of $19.95. Other colors were priced $5 more at $24.95. I pack very well & ship promptly with a tracking #. 6-1/2"W x 4-3/4"H x 3-1/4"D.

Emerson 610A (1949)
Here is a highly sought after mid-century plastic tabletop radio designed by the legendary industrial designer Raymond Loewy. It is a uniquely molded Plaskon or styrene cabinet. Great looking ivory (creamy) with a stylish gold front grille & Emerson badge. What a truly unique "tubular" dial & cover... only Emerson!! It has been completely restored checking all tubes, replacing all caps, etc. Plays great with good volume & clarity. The cabinet is near perfect with no breaks, scratches, repairs, touchups, etc. All original including knobs, dial, factory back, & factory tube layout tag on bottom + very clean, rust free chassis. The only imperfection is a shadow looking line on top back right side which in no way detracts, but is there. I have tried to show in pics, but just a slight blemish that appears to be a factory flaw if you will. I have pulled chassis just to verify not a break or repair. There are no repairs nor reproduction parts. It has been polished to a high luster much like factory. Definitely a show piece for most any Emerson, Deco, or MCM collector. Style, style, style! 9-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D.

Emerson "Bookcase/Library" (1947)
This is one of the most unique Emerson Radios that you will find. Emerson is not only known for very reliable radios, the company is also well known for its very creative and impressive cabinet designs. Many of their wood radio cabinets were designed by the renowned Ingraham Clock Cabinet Maker, Raymond Loewy, one of America's greatest industrial designers. Although this not an Ingraham cabinet, the design of this radio is atypical. This is a 1947 Emerson "History of Nations Book Volume" vacuum tube radio. It's in a hard cardboard leather-like cover with artful graphics in near mint condition. It resembles an 8-volume set of faux books with cloth and leather-style bindings. Near mint & all original including the dial, knobs, grille cloth, hinges, & back cover. It features functional small doors, opening one side typically exposes the radio dial and controls, while opening the other side reveals the speaker grille. Put it on a shelf with other books and you would think it is a volume of encyclopedia. The face of the radio has the unique lighted slide rule dial & on/off/volume & dial control knobs. The radio has a five-tube superhet chassis. It was serviced by a technician and is operating like new. The radio is playing very well, tuning all my local channels. 11"W x 8-1/4"H x 6-3/4"D.

Really an eye catcher with near perfect cabinet (rated 9.5), knobs, dial, dial cover, speakers (yes, dual speakers). Appears all original finish as well as original knobs, dial, cover, speakers (2), inlays, etc. Just a beautiful specimen. Not seen very often, especially for sale. Dial light lights up brightly to further enhance this highly collectible Emerson. The Emerson decal is in perfect condition. Very clean chassis & the set sports a new embossed FYLP repro cardboard back & looks great to finish off the set. The radio has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected & is freshly restored electronically replacing all caps, out of tolerance resistors & tubes. It is a strong player & picks up all across the dial picking up all my locals & beyond clearly. A highly sought and collectable radio! Approx. 16"W x 8-3/4"H x 8"D.

FADA 1000 Bullet "Streamliner" (1946)
This highly collectable FADA Model 1000 Art Deco "Bullet" Catalin Radio is in excellent original condition. This is the "insert grille" version which is more difficult to find, especially in this "original" condition... no repro parts. They are known as the "bullet" for their Art Deco streamlined design & nicknamed accordingly. The vibrant colors of deep yellow with red trim pieces are extremely eye catching. There are no cracks, chips or hairline fractures nor repairs. The *only* flaw is the small red spot (looks similar to a tube burn) on the top left corner. It could be a factory flaw I suppose, but suspect it is a light heat burn from some other source. It has been in my smoke free collection for several years & never was concerned "as is." I am pricing accordingly. It is being sold as non-working as is most of my Catalins; I don't recommend playing them anyway as we know what the heat does to that material. FADA first manufactured Catalins in 1940s, initially with an AM only, five-tube chassis. This model 1000 is the post-War version. Catalin material was made from a phenolic resin plastic which allowed them to be available in an array of colors, making a quantum from the typical brown/black. This bullet radio style with its sleek rounded lines is an icon of the industrial era. I pack very well & ship promptly. 10-1/2"W x 7"H x 6"D.

General Electric J-80 (1932)
Here is a beautiful & coveted Gothic GE cathedral. It is an eight-tube early Super-het. I always thought the slender/tall appearance set it apart from others of that era. This one maintains original finish with that factory light contrasting toning showing very little wear (esp. for a 93 yr. old radio). The speaker cloth, floral knobs, 10-inch speaker, dial, escutcheon, etc. are all factory original as well as factory sticker. Chassis is rust-free as well. The set was recently restored, replacing all caps, tubes where needed & same for resistors that were out of tolerance. It plays very well across the dial with the short attached wire antenna. Just a very nice radio for play/display. Overall, I think it is one of the nicest examples of the GE J-80 you are likely to see. It is heavy & large, but I pack very well in new over-sized heavy duty box, using all new large bubble/padding filling all voids in box. 19"H x 14"W x 10-1/2"D.

Instruct-A-Kit Teaching Aids Radio (1959)
Here is Pixie sized Plaskon Mid Century beauty, but unknown model from unknown manufacturer other than Japan. My research came up with very little other than: Instruct-A-Kit Radios were sold as Educational kits to teach electronic hobbyist & newbies component assemblies including soldering, etc. back in the late 50's - early 60's. I recently purchased from the original owner who is also a lifelong ham operator who purchased kit new, assembled it & kept in his collection for 65 years. It looks like it just came out of the box new! Kind of a rare find especially in this condition. It is very similar to 1959 G.E. model T129 & the O.M.G.S. made in Japan. Also very similar to the Montclair which I just recently sold on the Attic. It is in pristine condition housed in its Ivory Plaskon case. All I can say definitively it is a five-tuber with those Mid Century design that rocks. Chrome brights in both knobs. The tuning knob states "Teaching Aids for Tomorrow's World." There is also a factory schematic & tube layout on bottom. It does pick up my local stations, but I would not declare it a strong performer. Condition is primo...rate it a 10 out of 10; simply perfect. I suppose it's a hybrid. It is very light weight & won't take up much room on the shelf & should ship inexpensively. Only 7"W x 4-1/2"H x 3-1/2"D.

Kadette 41 "Jewel" (1935)
Here is a beautiful original, rare small Kadette "Jewel" model 41 with a natural gloss & marbled Tenite Art Deco grille insert. This is the Kadette "Jewel" three-tube radio and is one of the first radios to feature in a Bakelite case, made in the early 1930's around the time of the Depression. The Tenite grille is nicely marbleized with no damage. This three-tube tube radio was manufactured in 1935 by the International Radio Corp. in Ann Arbor, Michigan. IRC manufactured many different radios, some bearing the Kadette name, including the first mass-produced AC/DC radio, the first pocket radio, and the first clock radio. This set is considered a midget sized table radio model. The stepped design with molded ridges and the Art Deco geometric designed Tenite grille insert make this radio a standout. This combination of plastics and cabinet style make it very popular and sought after by collectors. Original as original can be except for a nice repro cardboard back. The Bakelite case and trim have no cracks, chips, burns or repairs except for a very tight 2-inch stress on lower right toward back bottom (looks more like a very light scratch & hard to find, but is there); please see last photo. This set is older restore electronically, but is not a strong player requiring a very long antenna (not included) thus, is being sold as non-working & should be gone over by a qualified technician if you want a player. About 7-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H x 4-1/3"D.

Majestic 44B "Duo Chief" (1934)
Here is a very nice little collectible chrome grille Majestic that won't take up much room on your shelf and is a very collectable mini tombstone. This is a cool example of the Grigsby-Grunow Majestic “Duo-Chief” from 1934 (you do the math: 91 years old). It has four tubes: 6A7, 6F7, 6Z5 and 41. It has two bands: Broadcast from 535 to 1530 KC, and Short-Wave (old police band) from 1470 to 3500 KC. Both bands work fine with the attached short antenna. The electronics have been restored replacing all capacitors and out of tolerance resistors. This set plays loud and loud/clear picking up all my locals. If you like compact radios, this would be a nice addition to your collection! This is a very nice & clean set that is also a great display piece. No pitting on the perfect chrome & also a nice clean rust-free chassis. Original knobs, grille, speaker, etc. This beauty also boasts four factory tags on cabinet, speaker & 2 on chassis. It will not disappoint. 12"H x 8"W x 6"D.

Majestic 60 (1937)
Here is a rather rare one. Very difficult to find Majestic in this cabinet version characterized by a striking, large, ornate brass dial bezel featuring the iconic Majestic Eagle and bright lighted dial. Same eagle also prominently part of lighted dial. I believe it is the very first time a model 60 has come up for sale on The Attic. I have had the tombstone version with same "look,", but personally, in my decades of collecting, it is the first one of this version I have ever seen. Just a beautiful example of waterfall top & wraparound end. It was electronically restored by previous owner & plays very well with attached antenna. I will include his schematic/work sheet. The reception is excellent on AM Broadcast (very slight hum at startup), and shortwave band, tho not much on SW & mainly in evenings. Also, the volume control, tone and band controls have separate indicator windows which are lighted. Clean chassis as well. The cabinet has been refinished using the beautiful toning accents. Original Majestic knobs, bezel, dial, speaker, etc. Exceptional piece for any collection. 14-1/2"W 8"H x 10"D.

Philco 16B "Peak Top" (1933)
This was Philco's top-of-the line radio in the mid 1930s and is a magnificent performer! The monstrous eleven-tube chassis plays through a 10-inch original speaker & push/pull output! This was the second model produced with a fine tuning control which was an added enhancement from the earlier model. Great sensitivity & the shadow meter works well. This radio was completely restored by previous owner, but I did have my Tech inspect and replace two weak tubes including the 80 Globe tube you can see. He also removed the canister & ensured the block caps were replaced. He also realigned & added a mini-jack for your ability to connect to any modern device. This has been tested & works very well also. The "Peak Top" cabinet looks very "original" with correct toners and lacquer having been properly applied for a factory-like finish including the pinstriping. The grille cloth is an authentic reproduction. Knobs, speaker, etc all look original. Nice rust free chassis. Factory tags & schematic still in place inside the cabinet. The 16B is sometimes referred to as the "Holy Grail" of Philco collecting. Don't miss your chance to own the best of the best for a great price. Large & heavy, but I pack very well & ship promptly. 22-1/4"H x 17"W x 12"D.

Silvertone 4563 (1936)
This 1936 Silvertone features a stunning Art Deco "Wrap-around/Waterfall" design wood cabinet, which has recently been refinished. The cabinet has an attractive slanted grain across the front and side and Art Deco speaker cut-outs with era correct grille cloth. The gold dial with "ring around the globe" emblem, nice letters and numbers, clear dial glass, and Tenite escutcheon which matches the four original knobs (on/off/volume, tone, tuning, & band). The six-tube chassis has been electronically restored. The radio picks up many stations, incl. SW in evening. I have attached an antenna and will leave it with the radio. This beauty is ready for you to proudly display and listen to, but it is 88 years old, and like all antique radios is not intended for everyday, all day use. It was sold under the Sears & Roebuck brand name "Silvertone" as part of the "Sears Golden Jubilee," which offered a series of radios with different sized gold dials and styles. Rust free and extremely clean chassis. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer example. Dial is perfect and illuminates for night use. 16"W x 10"H x 9-1/4"D; 16 lbs.

Super shiny with contrasting lighted large "topper" dial. Original knobs, dial, etc along with nice clean rust-free chassis & replacement back. Love the way the dial light shows the tuned station which gives it even more unique look in low light. Even the push buttons work. It has been restored replacing all weak tubes, resistors & all caps as is my tech guy's practice. It plays well across the dial picking up all my local stations & beyond. This is a gem & simply a uniquely designed radio ready for play/display. About 10-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D.

Stewart-Warner 07-5R5 (1939)
Here is one of the most unusual radio cabinets of the day & would bet it is Ingraham cabinet for sure. Unusual matched wrap around ends with nice burled walnut book-matched top that gives a nice contrast to the lighter walnut "wraps" & front that is dressed with the vertical slats for grill area. Nice Bullet knobs, Stewart-Warner factory decal, Very clean chassis, new clear dial cover from Mark Palmquist & nice repro back. The radio has a nice cabinet refinish by previous owner with proper toning along bottom and top bands. It is a fresh restore with new caps, resistors where needed, strong tubes checked/replaced where needed & new polarized cord for safety. Very strong player all across the dial & is an "All American Fiver." The Stewart-Warner Corp. began as the Stewart and Clark Co., and made automotive parts, particularly speedometers. In 1912, the Alemite Co. and the Warner Instrument Co. merged with Stewart, forming the Stewart-Warner Speedometer Corp. in Chicago. Radio production began in 1925. 15"W x 7"H x 7"D.

Stewart-Warner R-1271 "The Bond" (1934)
Here is a table tombstone set like no other... ornate cabinet design! It is a factory named "The Bond" as was their trend back in the day. The R-1271 is a five-tube, three-band (AM,SWx3) radio. It has been professionally restored inside & out. It is a very strong player with great sensitivity. They are seldom seen & never for sale. I found a magazine article that states: "The table cabinet has a blending of fine, polished woods, that will harmonize with the furnishings of any room. The top is of selected red gumwoods, the sides are of striped walnut with a quartered walnut overlay. Beautifully figured quilted maple forms the speaker grille & upper half of front panel. The lower half of the front panel is quartered walnut." Simply a Cadillac of the day. A very clean chassis as you can see featuring factory speaker, parts, incl. original knobs, etc. Very nice colorful, lighted dial. The grille cloth is new replacement & era correct. This is a rare bird & one of Stewart-Warner's finest. Extreme styling & extremely collectible. From my smoke free collection. 17"H x 13-1/2"W x 8"D.

Stromberg-Carlson 1110H (1946)
Here is a very unusual Deco designed Stromberg-Carlson that sets it aside from most radios of the day. The contoured "hump back" top cabinet and fluted wrap-around grille with great contrasting wood tones add even more pizazz. The large lighted, detailed vertical dial & brassy bezel which also surrounds the six pre-sets giving it even more of uniqueness. Notice the beautiful wood grains particularly on ends & top. Likely an Ingraham cabinet. The factory stickers on chassis + a full one on bottom of cabinet intact. This radio is a great example offering both BC and SW from a six-tube super-het chassis. It produces a great sound picking up all my local stations & beyond. All this from six tubes & 5-inch speaker. It is a fresh professional restore both physically & electronically. It is simply extra nice! Note this radio has an internal antenna, but you can also add an additional wire antenna, which is not needed in my locale, but might boost reception in remote locations. You can preset the buttons to your favorite stations for either BC or SW which is a very uncommon feature. Original knobs, dial, speaker, etc. Nice clean chassis. Also has a factory phono jack. Ready for play & display! 15-3/4"W x 9-1/4"H x 10"D.

Truetone D-703 (1937)
Here is an early Art Deco Pre-War Truetone tombstone whose dial & cabinet were designed to sit in upright (tombstone) position or on either side (assume for left or right handers easy tuning). This unique model was also created in Bakelite, but this is the much rarer Plaskon version which is seldom seen, much less for sale. Beautiful flawless Brass grille, Ivory Plaskon that is factory original, including knobs, grille cloth, dial, dial cover, full flawless Plaskon back, speaker, etc. including very clean chassis. The radio was restored by a professional and plays great picking up all my locals & beyond. Even the short antenna appears factory original & does allow for SW access tho there is little on that band now days. Check out that red & brass reverse painted dial which really pops when lit & makes the brass grille even look nicer. There are two very, very minor, tight stresses I should point out, but hardly noticeable. First is 1/4" tight in corner just above right corner of grille. The other is 1/2" tight just below dial toward right knob. I still rate it a 9.5 & if you know Plaskon you will likely agree. The radio has a Continental Radio five-tube chassis, and was sold in Western Auto stores under the Truetone name. A beauty that will not disappoint. Weighs approx. 12 lbs. & about 10"H x 7"W x 6"D.

Also nice clean, rust free chassis. An absolutely amazing Zenith with such Art Deco design. The case is in wonderful condition, without any significant cosmetic issues, designed by Robert Budlong, one of Zenith's most prolific design engineers. I have had more than one of these over the years & have seen many others, but this one of the nicer ones I have ever had. The factory stamp is still on bottom of set & shows very little wear. The electronics have been completely restored and it plays very nicely on the AM broadcast band, picking up all my local stations & beyond with just the short antenna wire. Nice selectivity & sensitivity! The radio is an excellent example of this iconic model. Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. 10-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 6"D.

Zenith 715 (1933)
I am offering a beautiful early, rare Zenith model 715 model that would look great in most/all collections, but does have a couple of flaws. One is the shadow meter in not working & the other is radio plays well, but with a noticeable hum. Needs a wire antenna (supplied). I am pricing accordingly (way below what previous 715s have sold for). It is a beautiful specimen & sort of hate to let it go. It is an eight-tuber with nice inlays as well as elaborate scroll work on the front, beautiful wood trim, wonderful walnut and birds-eye maple veneers, waterfall scalloped top, original bezel and lighted dial scale. Chassis is very clean, grille cloth is era correct & new. Speaker is perfect, knobs are original wood. It would be a super addition to any collection, especially a Zenith collection! 20"H x 15"W x 10"D, shipping weight 30 pounds.
Was $575.00, now $517.50. (1640363)
