What a fun find! Cute little
Bakelite radio.
Research shows this is probably a model Number H-126
and was made sometime between 1946 and 1949. A six tube
radio.
Referred to as a refrigerator radio because of its styling,
and according to one source, in 1945 Westinghouse gave you
one for free if you bought a Westinghouse refrigerator.
See what I mean! Fun!
This is as found. One knob is changed. It plays but with a
soft hum. Also the W lights up in the front. Handle works
great. This is showing dirt, flash is bringing out more than
I feel is there. I see one scratch that shows
in the flash upper left, its small. The bakelite has no
cracks or chips that I see. The brass like the rest of it
could use a polishing but then I think it would absolutely
glow. It's nice the way it is too.
Approx. dimensions - 13" tall with handle up, 9" without. 6"
Wide and 5.5" deep.
This would be a terrific gift for the radio guy in your life
or for your own collection. The display is great, or play
and enjoy the nostalgia.
Please see all photos and email with any questions prior to
purchase. Thanks
