American Bosch 450 (1935)
For me this was the best looking table model by Bosch retaining the original knob, grille cloth and even the decal. It dates from 1935. I refinished the trim and restored the original finish and added a clear coat. The original grille cloth was carefully cleaned. It is so unusual: attractive and irreplaceable. With the beautiful burl veneer accents it would be very hard to find a better example of this radio. The dial is a rotating world globe. It lights up the upper or lower half depending on AM or SW band use. The chassis has been serviced and plays well on AM and shortwave. 19-1/2"H x 15"W x 7-1/2"D. Was $599.00, now $539.00. (0260838)

Arvin 652P (1952)
The 652P was offered in 1952-53 and is the only jade and gold example I have seen. I think it may be the best looking portable of its day. The radio is in excellent condition which is truly amazing considering how fragile this plastic case is. The only issue is the bottom hinges both are chipped so opening and closing the back should be very limited. The inside is just as nice as the outside, complete and clean. It has the battery holder and original power cord. The radio has been serviced with good reception across the dial. I highly recommend this set for preservation and not for use. I believe very few have survived this intact. 11"W x 8"H x 4"D. $449.00. (0260844)

Davison Haynes Aero
The only identification is Aero on the escutcheon and the number 15997 on the label. This is an extremely rare radio and is the only example I'm aware of. There is little documentation about the company and it appears they were only in business from 1930 to 31. The chassis was assembled at Gilfillan Bros. Plant in L.A. The chassis is the same used in their model 92 and 93 consoles. The radio is in beautiful condition inside and out. The chassis is super clean with no corrosion. The set was serviced by the former owner and plays fine with strong reception. The cabinet has been refinished. The grille cloth is a replacement, but I believe the knobs are original to the set. There is no schematic for this set and so it is offered primarily for display and preservation. 16-1/2"H x 15"W x 9-1/2"D. Was $749.00, now $499.00. (0260733)

Emerson 414 "Wheat" (1933)
Also known as "Fleur-de-Lis," the model 414 dates from 1933. The chassis was also used in the Mickey Mouse and Snow White sets produced by Emerson. These sets are a rare find in excellent all original condition down to the power cord. This example uses a pin drive high impedance speaker rather than the field coil type as both have shown up with this chassis. Unfortunately I could not adjust this speaker to handle higher volume. Otherwise the chassis has been restored and is receiving several stations that you can listen to at low volume. It is ready for display. 7-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 5"D. Was $595.00, now $399.00. (0260785)
