Beautiful Pistachio Marbleized Catalin Large Addison

Ref: RA767

Great all-original Addison Catalin radio Model 5 in marbleized Pistachio cabinet with Maroon trim. This is a magnificent + exquisitely crafted stately Art Deco radio. Manufactured in the 1940's by ADDISON INDUSTRIES LIMITED in Toronto, Canada also known to collectors as the 'Courthouse' or 'Large' Addison. Pistachio catalin was only used by four radio manufacturers of the time and is therefore an uncommon find. The radio has taken on a beautiful patina over the years and it is just a pristine example of this model.

The pistachio catalin cabinet has a glossy deep rich color, glow and also has exceptional, brown, clear, yellow + green tone marbleizing that add dimension to the radio. The radio is just a stunning example of this Addison model.

This beautiful set is in great condition with no cracks, chips, tube burns or repairs. The five maroon vertical grill bars are original as are the three matching pinwheel knobs. The radio retains its original brown reverse painted dial glass in excellent condition with only slight signs of age. The grill cloth is original and has no tears or stains + has only a small amount of wear. Water-slide decal is a correct replacement. This is truly a remarkable radio in excellent condition. Radio has small scratches consistent with age + careful use.

This stately radio measures approximately: 12.5" Wide by 9" High by 7" Deep. This set is sold "as-is + untested", the chassis seems complete. Radio is being sold as a "non-working" vintage electronic device that should be gone over by a qualified technician prior to use.
