Addison 5
Beautiful oxblood red and yellow trim Catalin Addison Model 5. Beautiful cabinet that is in great condition, no cracks or scratches. The radio turns on, lights up and tunes in AM radio perfectly. This is by far, the best radio in my collection. $4,250.00. (1880002)

Arvin 444 Chrome Midget (1946)
Vintage 1946-1948 Rare Chrome Arvin Midget Model 444A tube radio, compact metal body. I have mostly Catalin radios in my collection, but this one really caught my eye when I saw it about 30 years ago here in Los Angeles. I don't know a lot about these radios, and I haven't seen a lot of the chrome versions. I've seen a few different colors of this model. It looks great on the shelf amongst the other radios and will surely look just as good at your place. I haven't tried plugging it in because the AC cord is frayed. Because we're not able to turn it on, this is being sold as is as a "non-working" vintage radio. $525.00. (1880006)

Bendix 526C (1946)
This handsome radio is swirled green and black trim. The radio was made circa 1946 with stylish marbleized green cabinet and contrasting black front. The radio is in beautiful condition with no cracks or chips. This is being sold as is and has not been tested and therefore sold as a non-working vintage radio. Slight surface scratch on top of cabinet (see picture). About 11"W x 7"H x 6"D. $1,300.00. (1880003)

DeWald A-501 "Harp"
This Catalin DeWald model A-501 "Harp" is a magnificently crafted Art Deco radio. Manufactured circa 1940s by DeWald Radio Mfg Corp, out of New York. This is surely one of the most musically inspired radio designs and because of this has become known to collectors as the "Lyre" or "Harp" DeWald. The Catalin has a rich color and is in original condition, with no chips or scratches. The butterscotch pinwheel knobs are original to the radio as is the back plate with DeWald Logo, patent info, illustration and antenna information. The radio has been well taken care of and has no signs of wear or cracks. This is truly a remarkable radio in vintage condition that would make for a great addition to any radio or Art Deco collection. About 9-3/4"W x 6-1/4"H x 5-1/2"D. I have not been able to plug this radio in to see if it is working because the AC cord and plug are original and the insulation has hardened and there are bare spots where the wire can be seen. We do not recommend plugging this in to a power source without first replacing the AC cord. Because we're not able to turn it on, this is being sold as is as a "non-working" vintage radio. $1,900.00.

Emerson 400 "Patriot"
The Emerson model 400 Patriot was introduced in the fall of 1940 and according to the Emerson book "Small Radio," this novelty set was styled by the well-known industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes. With war clouds thick over Europe and appearing increasingly threatening to the homelands, this radio's theme struck a chord with American radio buyers, who turned it into a best seller. Commenting on this unexpected success, Emerson stated "style, timing and current affairs of people should always be considered by radio engineers." While this radio is in great shape, there are a couple of things to point out; the plastic cover over the dial has yellowed and the back plate with antenna has pushed through the mounting bracket. Also, with regards to the red and white bars that cover the speaker, it looks to me like the "white" lines may be some sort of white tape. I'm not sure if this is original material, but it's worth mentioning. It's never bothered me aesthetically, but the reality should be stated. This radio powers up and receives signals including the "250-500" band which is below the AM band at the bottom of the dial. This is the 120-meter Medium-Wave (MW) broadcast band. Most stations heard in this range are aeronautical and marine navigation beacons that continuously repeat their call signs in Morse code. The old international distress frequency of 500 kHz is in this band, but it is no longer officially used. $1,500.00. (1880005)

Emerson 520
The Emerson Model 520 in Butterscotch Honey Gold. Of all my radios that turn on and receive AM stations, this one sounds amazing. The tone is rich and full, and makes AM sound big. I'm quite impressed with this one. This tabletop vacuum tube AM vacuum tube radio manufactured by Emerson in 1946 is in excellent working and physical condition. Cabinet is original factory molded butterscotch and gold swirl Catalin cabinet. No cracks, chips or major scratches or missing pieces. The dial light works and lights up brightly. In looking at other 520s online, I notice only one difference, the knobs on this radio are different than the knobs in other examples. I bought it this way, not sure if maybe the previous owner just liked these knobs better. As I mentioned it is in great working order and sounds incredible. $525.00. (1880008)

FADA 1000 "Bullet"
The FADA "Bullet" 1000 seems to be radio that everyone needs in their collection. The Art Deco streamlined design and colors are good. There are no cracks, chips or hairline fractures. FADA first manufactured Catalins in 1940. This radio powers up, the dial lights up and it tunes in AM signals. This model also has the "200-500 meter" band which is below the AM band at the bottom of the dial. Most stations heard in this range are aeronautical and marine navigation beacons that continuously repeat their call signs in Morse code. The old international distress frequency of 500 kHz is in this band, but it is no longer officially used. 10-1/2"W x 7"H x 6"D. $500.00. (1880007)
