Antique Radios…..

So Mike noticed a couple antique radios in my last post…All of these you see are for sale. I have to get rid of them as they take up almost one whole room in my house. #1 is a 1936, the one with the mesh front is a 1953, #9 is somewhere in the 40’s I believe, the little colored bakelites on the bottom shelf and in the group shot are from the 50’s. I have more than these and most of them are for sale. I only have a couple that are not. I have a Cathedral which is in the photo of Jegs in my last post……Last time we checked……..$900.

I have a gorgeous 1935 or 36 in my bedroom for $100. The one sitting on top of it is a 1932 shortwave that started Nick’s obsession with Philco Radios. Philco was owned by Ford Motor Company till 1974.

Man I need to DUST!

I had one guy show up and bought 14 of the smaller ones including a ‘Bing Crosby’ which was very similar to a CD player.

The bottom opened up, you started sliding a record in, the radio ‘grabbed it’ pulled it in, the door shut and the record played. It’s a 1946. We found one in a museum, looked at each other and said “That is just like the one we have upstairs!” Which was cool.

I’ve been selling them off one by one. I’m not sorry to see them go. I am keeping the 1949 Entertainment Center (Radio, phonograph, and a 10″ Black and White TV) in the beautiful mahogany finish. I should get a photo of that thing….

You pick up. I won’t ship these beauties………………..LOL!!
