Here is a diminutive, highly collectible 1939 "Emersonette" in the coveted green color. This was professionally painted by an auto painter friend who does custom painting & has been in the business for 40 years. In addition to three or four coats of the green, he also clear coated a few coats for the glossy factory new look. Absolutely no flaws (near mint). 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 bullet-style knobs, external antenna, dial, red pointer, are original to the set and perfect repro FYLP back panel. The dial lights up beautifully in the dark as seen in one of my pics. Ready to play/display! Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. Like the 540 the 255 cases were very fragile and as a result relatively few have survived. Both are highly collectible and the red and green original Plaskon ones in clean, undamaged condition can command a price that runs into four figures! Some Emerson advertising described it as being "the world's smallest practical radio." Make it yours. 6-1/2"W x 4-3/4"H x 3-1/4"D.  $325.00. (1640380)
