Certain to draw attention this convo-starter features art deco roll top design and distinctive "sailing ship" dial. Now an AM-only novelty, it may be used anywhere strong local stations are available. Because of its dead tech design, it could not have worked beyond the 60's predestining it as a rarity. Good for the early gen tubes which may have low hours but could not be tested on our gear. Found derelict, this battery-operated, custom build farm radio required 18 months of preservation effort.
