My first vintage radio. I acquired this one from friends who bought it new in either the late 1930s or early 1940s for $249.95. A lot of money then; I wonder how much that translates to now. It is a little rough, but it works. It has a record player that slides out when the front doors are opened. The needle on the tone arm looks like the barb on barbed wire. Very cool.
