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. About7-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H x 4-1/3"D.  $269.00. (1640382)
