THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

I have had a difficult time deciding to sell this favorite, but I guess it's time to kick off the holidays with this highly collectible Montgomery Wards Airline AM radio, model 05GCB-1540A. Appropriately named "Rudolph." This radio was produced in tandem with the success of the song, "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" in 1949, and the comic books in 1950... The original book was written in 1939 by Robert L May and the most recognized TV special was released in 1964. There is a dial lamp behind the nose that glows when the radio is powered on. This gem has been in my collection for many years. It is a great little four-tube radio that is better known as Rudolph radio. Back, dials, knobs, etc all appear original. The set has been electronically restored and it sounds very well with the attached factory antenna. The grille area has one 1-inch repair to one of the grille slats & it is difficult to see (prob not show in pics) but it's there. This radio displays very, very well. 7"W x 6"H x 6"D.
