Synopsis
Mid-twentieth century table radios made primarily of brightly colored plastic represent a relative newcomer to the radio collecting arena. With designs that often resembled contemporary automobile grille and headlight configurations, these affordable radios were made by the major electronics companies as well as dozens of others with lesser known names.These examples of American industrial design and popular culture were once plentiful, and today they can be found at flea markets, garage and house sales, secondhand stores, and "antique" shops specializing in modern design. Colorful and collectible, mid-century table radios are both available and affordable. With more than 430 full color photographs of radios, plus advertisements and black and white vintage photos, this pioneering book is a must for anyone interested in radios, mid-century industrial design, or popular culture., Mid-twentieth century table radios made primarily of brightly colored plastic represent a relative newcomer to the radio collecting arena.

    Awesome seller! The item arrived quickly, was well packaged and the appearance was just as the listing described. One corner of the book got slightly bent in shipping but it is a very thin book. Other than that the condition is excellent! Great quality and value for the price. I will definitely be buying from them again!

    Item arrived some time ago and was exactly as described. It arrived eventually via Evri in a small cardboard envelope. Now unwrapped and in use. Thank you so much for your assistance with this item. Faithfully Stuart
