Air King 4607 (1947)
Here is a somewhat rare little Air King radio. This is an all original (lighted dial, dial cover, knobs, grille, speaker, etc.) small five-tuber set in great working condition picking up all my local channels clearly and loudly up and down the dial with its interior loop antenna. All the dial numbering and lettering is crisp and clear. Dial light lights up brightly. Look at the perfect Art Deco type logo font! Original cabinet is smooth glossy condition molded plastic with factory applied gold paint on grille with the Air King logo. Cool little Bakelite world globe between the two small knobs. Most of the the back cover is intact. Air King was located in Brooklyn, NY and manufactured AM radios for the consumer market starting in 1932. Among American radios, Air King was a standout. Later, Air King made radios for Silvertone (Sears), GE, and other companies, and also sold radios under their own name. Ready for play/display & won't take up much space. I pack very well & ship promptly. About 7"W x 6"H x 6"D. Was $269.00, now $215.20. (1640383)

Automatic "Tom Thumb" Unknown (1938)
Here is a great looking tiny midget set from approx. 1938. Model unknown tho it looks similar to the 950 & points to same era. It is all original, including the speaker grille cloth, dial and dial cover, knobs, etc as well as little wooden ornate feet. It has been refinished nicely at some point with the Tom Thumb logo intact. This radio is made by Automatic Radio Manufacturing Co. of Boston, Mass. The company begun in 1920 and is still in business today. It is most famous for producing the Tom Thumb radios in the late thirties. I believe this little Deco model of the Tom Thumb is one of the rarest. I can find no information on this particular model, not even a picture. It plays with the antenna wire attached picking up my local stations, tho I would not call it a strong player. Automatic Radio is also well known for producing after market car radios. A first for the Radio Attic so don't miss out. a must have to complete a Tom Thumb collection. 8"W x 5-3/4"H x 4-1/4"D. Was $425.00, now $340.00. (1640347)

Crosley 517 "Fiver" (1937)
The compact 1937-38 517 "Fiver" tombstones are very popular probably due to their smaller size and the famous gold mirror dial. This is a very nice example; a "Fiver" mini-tombstone is an impressive radio for its small size picking up all my locals & beyond with only a short antenna wire. The Model 517 is a five-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio and 5-inch speaker. It has been electronically restored a few years ago when it became part of my smoke free collection and works extremely well, covering the broadcast (550-1700 KC) and Shortwave (6-15 MC). Many Crosley models used the chassis or the name "Fiver." The original knobs, speaker and chassis are present, along with what appears to be original grille cloth as well as original finish. The dial is very colorful, is backlit and has a mirror behind it which makes it "pop." The wood is simply beautiful as pics should show. Chassis is very clean and the factory sticker is inside the cabinet. Original Utah speaker & cone is perfect. Crosley Radio Corp., Cincinnati, Ohio was started by Powell Crosley, Jr. and he eventually owned the Cincinnati Reds baseball team. 12-1/2"H x 10-1/2"W x 7 1/2"D; 10 lbs. Was $329.00, now $263.20.

Emerson 157 "Clockette" (1937)
This is an excellent example of a very hard to find small Emerson Art Deco mid-1930's radio affectionately known as a "Clockette." The case is made up of three sections that fit together: an ivory Plaskon front, an ivory Plaskon middle, and a black Bakelite back. These were sold in solid Ivory, solid Black and a combination of two-tone Ivory/Black combinations. And with original ivory matching knobs + metal bottom with factory decal. Also has original rubber feet. Other than a very minuscule hairline on top toward back & down in the fitted groove, this case is perfect, no cracks, hairline cracks or repairs. The original brass dial pointer and brass grille cloth are in place. The model number 157 is stamped into the black Bakelite case back panel. A new cloth line cord has also been added to replace the old tattered resistance line cord and looks original. This is a complete electronic restore (will include the two-page schematic) and the radio is playing fine, picking up my local AM stations with short antenna. This chassis is a four-tube set, and it helps to have an external antenna to get local and distant reception. I am including a long length of antenna wire with the radio. The dial light reflects through the red Emerson logo dot on the front when the radio is on. Difficult to find this model in this condition (I rate it a 9.5 out of 10). I package very well & ship promptly. Midget-sized at about 7"W x 7"H x 5-1/2"D. Was $325.00, now $260.00. (1640391)

Emerson 511 "Moderne" (1947)
Here is a seldom seen Emerson model 511 "Moderne" glossy ivory Beetle Plaskon with bronze/gold marbling swirls. The clear plastic bubble dial cover floats over the gold painted metallic grille, which covers much of the front. A block of ivory Plaskon, whose back has a recess for the pilot light, anchors the dial cover to the cabinet at its top. When you turn on the radio, the illuminated block sheds a soft light over the dial, a beautiful effect. Radio has a cleverly designed molded handle on the top that also served to ventilate the set, as this set is closed on all sides and is designed to be viewed from all angles. The beautiful marbleized Beetle Plaskon cabinet is in great original condition, with no chips, major cracks, burns or repairs. The cabinet has only a slight stress crack in the dark swirls between the two original Plaskon knobs (have to look hard to find). The set retains its original metal bottom. Elevated padded feet + two factory labels. It not only looks great, but plays loud and clear across the AM dial as well. Truly an eye-catching addition to any radio collection. Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. About 11-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D. Was $429.00, now $343.20. (1640228)

Emerson 540 "Emersonette" (1947)
Here is a diminutive, highly collectible 1947 "Emersonette" in totally original condition including, knobs, grille cloth, dial, dial cover, back, speaker, etc. Nice clean chassis. Absolutely no flaws (near mint). Glossy factory new look. 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 black bullet-style knobs, external antenna, dial, dial glass and almost-perfect back panel are original to the set. The dial lights up beautifully in the dark. Ready to play/display! Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. The 540 cases were very fragile and as a result relatively few have survived. Today, the 540 is highly collectible. The 540 was advertised as "the world's smallest ac/dc superhet" and in walnut it had an original list price of $19.95. Other colors were priced $5 more at $24.95. I pack very well & ship promptly with a tracking #. 6-1/2"W x 4-3/4"H x 3-1/4"D. Was $239.00, now $191.20. (1640384)

Emerson 564 "Slot Grille" (1940)
Here is a beautiful diminutive, somewhat rare Onyx Green Catalin Emerson model 564 "Slot-Grille." This is a magnificent small Art Deco radio that features a vertical slide rule, lighted dial + a series of symmetrical grille cut-outs, thus the nickname "slot grille." Emerson Radio & Phonograph Corp, out of New York, manufactured this midget Catalin radio in 1940. It has been restored & plays well, but it is Catalin & most collectors don't play them (not I). The Catalin has a beautiful gloss and is just a stunning example of this Emerson model that is highlighted by heavy mottling of reddish, yellow and lighter onyx green swirls. This beautiful set is in great condition but does have two small dings on left front edge which I have zoomed in on for your inspection. Look at other pics & notice those dings aren't that apparent (zoom makes them appear larger than they are), but they are there. There do not appear to be any other cracks, repairs or major scratches which are consistent with age + careful use. Water-slide decal is a replacement. The swirled knobs may/may not be originals but look good on the radio. A cardboard back is in place. This is sweet little radio in excellent condition. 7"W x 5"H x 3-3/4"D. $1,000.00. (1640356)

Emerson CF-255 "Emersonette" Midget (1939)
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. Was $325.00, now $260.00. (1640380)

Emerson CV316 (1939)
Emerson Extraordinary! This is a very nice/rare Emerson CV316 in the coveted artsy Ingraham cabinet. What a cool design as is most Ingraham cabinets, but this one is beyond description the way it appears is that the radio is two (flat one pushed into to the oval cabinet)... really special & different from any other radio I've ever seen. The oval top nestles on the fluted flat face giving it a space age look. Hope my pics do it justice with all the angles. I don't think this has been offered on the Attic previously. Actually I cannot find much info on this particular set. It's a five-tube AM band table radio from my smoke free home/collection. It is a very strong player picking up all across the dial. Since it is from my collection, I know it was restored prior to being added to my shelves, else it would not be there�point is it is an older restore as it has been there for at least five or six years. Nice original condition, including original finish & inlays, Emerson bullet knobs, lighted dial, dial cover, factory embossed back, speaker, etc + the Ingraham factory tag on bottom of case + a stencil of the company in Philly that sold the radio...cool. I did add a new Emerson decal between knobs as is correct. Extremely clean rust free chassis. This one will not disappoint. Quite the center piece & attention getter. 11"W x 6-1/2"H x 6"D.

Dial light lights up brightly to further enhance this highly collectible Emerson. The Emerson decal is in perfect condition. Very clean chassis & the set sports a new embossed FYLP repro cardboard back & looks great to finish off the set.

ERLA 271-A (1931)
This rather rare radio dating from the very early thirties is an impressive ERLA (Electrical Research Laboratories, Chicago) cathedral radio with a "flat top" and a Hammond clock in the center of the speaker grille. This is a special & unusual set with its "flat top" has a rather unique look for a cathedral. I believe the grille cloth to be original as are the knobs, speaker, dial etc. The case has been nicely refinished and restored by previous owner, & plays with great sound and selectivity with a supplied short antenna. Nice clean chassis & is a seven-tuber driven by a single 45 output! The electric clock also runs, but like all clocks of the era, is not self starting. It is easy to spin the clock into work, with the spinner in the back of the set. It is held in place by retaining clips and can be easily snapped into & out of cabinet. It is a quality one made by Hammond Clock, well known for a recognizable name and quality. This is a large set & the size alone, makes for the impressive appearance, but will require proper packaging & materials. I pack very well using over-sized box & all new materials. The weight is an impressive 42 pounds. The exceptional set would be a fine addition to any collection. 19"H x 14"W x 11"D. Was $529.00, now $423.20. (1640286)

Farnsworth GT-051 (1948)
Here is a stunning, shiny, beautiful almond factory painted Bakelite, rounded corners with a finned wrap around grille...really some nice Deco lines. Stunning working & restored Farnsworth GT-51. The clean chassis, back, knobs, speaker, knobs etc. all appear original. It sports a dramatic, asymmetrical design, with deep wraparound louvers and a bullet-like profile, it's a great example of 1940s Streamline design. Neat design on both the dial and volume knob & is colorful as the dial is backlit, accenting the translucent red tipped dial pointer. An amazing radio with the original back (loop antenna) and most of three factory labels on the bottom. Difficult to obtain, very few of these are ever offered for sale, The electronics have been recently restored by previous owner, and it plays very nicely on the AM band picking up local and beyond stations. The GT-051 was manufactured by the Farnsworth Television and Radio Corporation that was founded by Philo Farnsworth, the man who is also known as the Father of Television. The company usually sold radios and televisions under the Capehart brand. The Farnsworth company was sold to International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT) in 1949, which most likely ended production of this model. The cabinet has been reused by Northern Electric in Canada for their "Midge" line of radios. 11"W x 6"H x 6"D. Was $239.00, now $191.20. (1640368)

Firestone S-7403-5 (1939)
Here's an impressive small table set sporting the craftsmanship of the Ingraham line, from the slotted convex protruding grille to the inlaid pin striping on three sides along with book-matched ends. Manufactured by the famed Firestone Tire & Rubber company, this small tabletop features a lovely American Walnut with lots of burling. Firestone sold this under the nickname "Melody." Certainly a lot of Deco appeal with the design & beautiful gold, lighted & recessed dial. This is another of my Ingraham sets that is small, but has a powerful sound! Recent complete restore that plays all across the dial picking up all my locals & beyond. Really a strong player! Perfect size for the desk or bookshelf. The burly swirls really set this little guy off. All original, bullet knobs, dial, pointer, speaker, etc. along with the factory sticker on bottom + Ingraham tag. It also has a nice repro cardboard back. I pack very well & ship promptly. 12"W x 8"H x 7"D. Was $239.00, now $191.20. (1640386)

General Electric J-80 (1932)
Here is a beautiful & coveted Gothic GE cathedral. It is an eight-tube early Super-het. I always thought the slender/tall appearance set it apart from others of that era. This one maintains original finish with that factory light contrasting toning showing very little wear (esp. for a 93 yr. old radio). The speaker cloth, floral knobs, 10-inch speaker, dial, escutcheon, etc. are all factory original as well as factory sticker. Chassis is rust-free as well. The set was recently restored, replacing all caps, tubes where needed & same for resistors that were out of tolerance. It plays very well across the dial with the short attached wire antenna. Just a very nice radio for play/display. Overall, I think it is one of the nicest examples of the GE J-80 you are likely to see. It is heavy & large, but I pack very well in new over-sized heavy duty box, using all new large bubble/padding filling all voids in box. 19"H x 14"W x 10-1/2"D. Was $629.00, now $503.20. (1640328)

Instruct-A-Kit Teaching Aids Radio (1959)
Here is Pixie sized Plaskon Mid Century beauty, but unknown model from unknown manufacturer other than Japan. My research came up with very little other than: Instruct-A-Kit Radios were sold as Educational kits to teach electronic hobbyist & newbies component assemblies including soldering, etc. back in the late 50's - early 60's. I recently purchased from the original owner who is also a lifelong ham operator who purchased kit new, assembled it & kept in his collection for 65 years. It looks like it just came out of the box new! Kind of a rare find especially in this condition. It is very similar to 1959 G.E. model T129 & the O.M.G.S. made in Japan. Also very similar to the Montclair which I just recently sold on the Attic. It is in pristine condition housed in its Ivory Plaskon case. All I can say definitively it is a five-tuber with those Mid Century design that rocks. Chrome brights in both knobs. The tuning knob states "Teaching Aids for Tomorrow's World." There is also a factory schematic & tube layout on bottom. It does pick up my local stations, but I would not declare it a strong performer. Condition is primo...rate it a 10 out of 10; simply perfect. I suppose it's a hybrid. It is very light weight & won't take up much room on the shelf & should ship inexpensively. Only 7"W x 4-1/2"H x 3-1/2"D. Was $179.00, now $143.20. (1640388)

Kadette 41 "Jewel" (1935)
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.

A beautiful, unique and rare tabletop radio. This pre-war Philco with a couple of nicknames... mostly The Pagoda & some referred to as "The Jewel Case." Its design is second to none IMHO & ever so unique. Philco sales literature calls this cabinet the "Jewel Case" - "a charming, distinctive cabinet in rare, colorful woods of Mexican Accra, Aspen, and Birchwood."

It has been in my collection for several years & sorry I do not recall the restoration status, but it does play very well with just the short attached antenna.

It is as clean as one can be found and would truly make a great addition to any radio or Deco collection. The cabinet is in excellent condition with no obvious cracks, chips, repairs or tube burns & has oxidized very evenly. Knobs, dial, back, grille cloth, etc. all original. Two items I would mention is the grille cloth shows some light wear especially up towards top, but elected to not replace as it is only original once & will leave that to the buyer + radio has one small chip on the interior back panel retaining screw hole inside cabinet (see pic) at is not noticeable when the radio is displayed as it is inside hidden by the back panel. I have shown in pics & it will still hold the screw, but I will leave it out. This model is quite unique in that the chassis is mounted upside down. Absolutely beautiful display showing knobs & grille yellow & cabinet butterscotch. Not sure of the restore condition as this is a recent estate acquisition, but it plays very well across the dial picking up all my locals, but I never play my Catalins anyway & as do most Catalin collectors for all the known reasons. The dial light shines brightly which is just another reason to not play it due to heat it produces. 11"W x 7"H x 6-1/2"D. Was $950.00, now $760.00. (1640378)

This beauty is ready for you to proudly display and listen to, but it is 88 years old, and like all antique radios is not intended for everyday, all day use. It was sold under the Sears & Roebuck brand name "Silvertone" as part of the "Sears Golden Jubilee," which offered a series of radios with different sized gold dials and styles.

They are seldom seen & never for sale. I found a magazine article that states: "The table cabinet has a blending of fine, polished woods, that will harmonize with the furnishings of any room. The top is of selected red gumwoods, the sides are of striped walnut with a quartered walnut overlay. Beautifully figured quilted maple forms the speaker grille & upper half of front panel. The lower half of the front panel is quartered walnut." I will also include the Radio Service Notes & magazine art for you reference. Simply a Cadillac of the day. It is a five-tube, three-band (AM, 2xSW) radio. A very clean chassis as you can see featuring factory speaker, parts, incl. original knobs, etc. Very nice colorful, lighted dial. The grille cloth is new replacement & era correct. Again this is a rare bird & one of Stewart-Warner's finest. Extreme styling & extremely collectible. From my smoke free collection. Make it yours. Talk of the town. 17"H x 13-1/2"W x 8"D. Was $750.00, now $600.00. (1640358)

Stewart-Warner R-1271 "The Bond" (1934)
Here is a table tombstone set like no other... ornate cabinet design! It is a factory named "The Bond" as was their trend back in the day. The R-1271 is a five-tube, three-band (AM,SWx3) radio. It has been professionally restored inside & out. It is a very strong player with great sensitivity. They are seldom seen & never for sale. I found a magazine article that states: "The table cabinet has a blending of fine, polished woods, that will harmonize with the furnishings of any room.

Stromberg-Carlson 1110H (1946)
Here is a very unusual Deco designed Stromberg-Carlson that sets it aside from most radios of the day. The contoured "hump back" top cabinet and fluted wrap-around grille with great contrasting wood tones add even more pizazz. The large lighted, detailed vertical dial & brassy bezel which also surrounds the six pre-sets giving it even more of uniqueness. Notice the beautiful wood grains particularly on ends & top. Likely an Ingraham cabinet. The factory stickers on chassis + a full one on bottom of cabinet intact. This radio is a great example offering both BC and SW from a six-tube super-het chassis. It produces a great sound picking up all my local stations & beyond. All this from six tubes & 5-inch speaker. It is a fresh professional restore both physically & electronically. It is simply extra nice! Note this radio has an internal antenna, but you can also add an additional wire antenna, which is not needed in my locale, but might boost reception in remote locations. You can preset the buttons to your favorite stations for either BC or SW which is a very uncommon feature. Original knobs, dial, speaker, etc. Nice clean chassis. Also has a factory phono jack. Ready for play & display! 15-3/4"W x 9-1/4"H x 10"D. Was $429.00, now $343.20. (1640314)

Truetone D-703 (1937)
Here is an early Art Deco Pre-War Truetone tombstone whose dial & cabinet were designed to sit in upright (tombstone) position or on either side (assume for left or right handers easy tuning). This unique model was also created in Bakelite, but this is the much rarer Plaskon version which is seldom seen, much less for sale. Beautiful flawless Brass grille, Ivory Plaskon that is factory original, including knobs, grille cloth, dial, dial cover, full flawless Plaskon back, speaker, etc. including very clean chassis. The radio was restored by a professional and plays great picking up all my locals & beyond. Even the short antenna appears factory original & does allow for SW access tho there is little on that band now days. Check out that red & brass reverse painted dial which really pops when lit & makes the brass grille even look nicer. There are two very, very minor, tight stresses I should point out, but hardly noticeable. First is 1/4" tight in corner just above right corner of grille. The other is 1/2" tight just below dial toward right knob. I still rate it a 9.5 & if you know Plaskon you will likely agree. The radio has a Continental Radio five-tube chassis, and was sold in Western Auto stores under the Truetone name. A beauty that will not disappoint. Weighs approx. 12 lbs. & about 10"H x 7"W x 6"D. Was $379.00, now $303.20. (1640354)

Westinghouse H-188 (1948)
Here is a somewhat unusual designed Westinghouse with its "Double Dip Top," "Roman Key" designed gold grille, grille cloth, and a clear domed covered Lucite pointer giving the dial area a Saturn look (see that?). Shiny black Bakelite, Oriental designed case with gold accents give it a lot of pizazz. The case has no repairs, no cracks nor flaws as can be seen from my pictures. It is all original including factory back, knobs, dial, dial cover, grille & grille cloth. It plays very well across the dial picking up all my local stations with good volume. The dial pointer is also gold colored with a red Lucite pointer that is very attractive, especially when lit. I pack very well & ship promptly. 11"W x 8"H x 7"D. Was $189.00, now $151.20. (1640392)

Zenith 6-D-516 "Beehive" (1941)
Here is a classic Pre-War Zenith affectionately affectionately known by collectors as "The Beehive" or "Pancake" radio because of the grille work. Excellent specimen that shows beautifully as you should be able to see in all pics. Original "Z" embossed knobs, dial, pointer, built-in antenna, shiny swirled cabinet with no breaks, scratches, or blems. Very bright back lit dial in both day & night time. This Deco design was by Robert Budlong, a Zenith designer who was responsible for many of Zenith's classic radio case models. The chassis is very, very clean & rust-free. Strong player & picks up all across the dial with great reception with tone control. Excellent replacement back on the set . I pack very well & ship promptly. About 12"W x 7"H x 6-1/2"D. Was $239.00, now $191.20. (1640387)

Zenith 715 (1933)
I am offering a beautiful early, rare Zenith model 715 model that would look great in most/all collections, but does have a couple of flaws. One is the shadow meter in not working & the other is radio plays well, but with a noticeable hum. Needs a wire antenna (supplied). I am pricing accordingly (way below what previous 715s have sold for). It is a beautiful specimen & sort of hate to let it go. It is an eight-tuber with nice inlays as well as elaborate scroll work on the front, beautiful wood trim, wonderful walnut and birds-eye maple veneers, waterfall scalloped top, original bezel and lighted dial scale. Chassis is very clean, grille cloth is era correct & new. Speaker is perfect, knobs are original wood. It would be a super addition to any collection, especially a Zenith collection! 20"H x 15"W x 10"D, shipping weight 30 pounds. Was $575.00, now $460.00. (1640363)
