_nr2.jpg "Silver (Marshall) 139-JS (1937)") |
 Here is a nice seldom seen Art Deco wood radio by Silver Co. Actually factory badge states Marshall. The company was based in Chicago, and marketed under the names Silver Marshall, Silver and Marshall. This one has the Marshall badge on the front. Lovely football shaped walnut cabinet sitting on toned platform which really accents the waterfall ends. Beautiful multi-colored dial in green, yellow, & red with two worlds surrounded by brass escutcheon. The chassis has been electronically restored by a professional, replacing all of the capacitors, & also resistors & tubes were checked and replaced where needed. There is not much written about this manufacturer, but the Silver Folder 1938 for Season 1937/38 names it "Walnut" and "To-Na-Coustic" likely made by Clinton in Chicago as some online researchers allude to. This is a five-tube two-band set & radio plays very well & picks up on both bands with great sensitivity & selectivity with the attached antenna, tho not much on SW nowadays. Longer antenna even improves what is already very good. Extra clean, rust-free chassis. Radio has a very nice repro back & grille cloth is era correct replacement. I believe it is original finish & shows very little wear for a 88 year old radio. The knobs, speaker & and dial all original. This radio is a conversation piece & would enhance most any collection. 15"W x 9"H x 6"D. $479.00. (1640350) |
