I think this model may be a bit rarer than most because it's valued rather high and I haven't seen many of them. It's a small radio, came with a long wire antenna, made in 1954. Odd to not have a built in antenna, I thought. This radio is in great shape. Made of modern plastic.

Here's a 50 something Westinghouse. The cabinet has been repainted and looks very nice. The radio plays quite well in the upper band, but something's not quite right on the lower band. I haven't gotten into this one to find out why. As long as the station you listen to is on the upper half of the band, you've got it made. This one is for sale for $85.00. E-mail me for info if you're interested.
This is a Silvertone model 2 made in 1950. Just a simple AM radio.
This is a late 1950's coral pink Silvertone model 7012. This model featured twin speakers.
Here's a favorite of mine. Not sure of the date, but could be late 50's. It was made to have this lamp attached. When it comes time to wake up, the lamp comes on, the tubes warm up, and the radio starts playing. I use it everyday and love it. It's a Silvertone model 2018.
Here's a Silvertone model 220 made in 1950. It's a portable AC/DC set in a nice maroon color. Mine has a few scratches, but it works well, as do most of my radios.

Here's the same radio after my custom repaint. It's much nicer to look at now.
This is a GE plastic radio I found in an antique store. It wasn't working when I got it and needed a lot of cleaning. I just like the cabinet style, even though it isn't a SIlvertone. Well, it cleaned up nicely and it plays now, but there's a problem in the antenna radio interface, so it isn't receiving like it should. But hey, it looks nice.
This one is a battery operated farm radio Silvertone model 6200 made in 1946.
This Silvertone Medalist is a portable 7 transister radio I had as a kid. So, I had to acquire one again. It was made around 1960.
Here's a butterscotch catalin beauty made by Sentinel in 1946. It's a model 284-ni. Unfortunately, it has a crack between the dial and the grill on the left side. That's what made it affordable to me. It plays great with a super sensitive tuner pulling in distant stations with ease. Why don't they make radios like these anymore?
I couldn't pass up this really nice, in virtually mint condition, Emerson brown swirl catalin model 520 radio. I believe it was the last catalin radio made by Emerson. All it needed when I got it was a new dial glass and cleaning. Can't find any scratches on it anywhere. Plays good too.
