Item Description
5.5x7.25x7.25" tall nicely designed high quality radio, 1930s. This style radio by Emerson came in two different colors, black and cream and this is the latter. Has painted green accents on sides and front edge. On the front at each corner are attached triangular aluminum pieces, each w/different character image including Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow. At bottom center is triangular attachment that reads "Emerson Radio And Television" along w/Walt Disney copyright. Also has nice die-cut aluminum grill plate depicting Mickey Mouse playing an upright bass and behind this is the fabric speaker cover. Serial number plate is still attached to the back of radio. We were not able to get radio to work but it appears as if the internal parts are complete. Comes w/original fabric-covered electric cord, plug is broken. The speaker cover is intact w/no splits. The rubber covering on the underside feet is missing. The two plastic knobs are original, each w/tiny interior hairline. The four corner pieces w/images show some wear but characters remain distinct. Body has moderate scattered paint wear and chipping along edges but radio remains structurally sound and still displays nicely. Appearance for display remains Fine. These radios are scarce and were quite expensive in their day for a child's radio. Scarce variety in this color.
