Uncommon Two-Tone DeWald Model
Ref: RA464
Catalin DeWald 561 'Jewel or Outline-Grill" Radio in butterscotch with raspberry trim. One of only 3 Catalin radios ever manufactured by DeWald and made in 1939. The butterscotch Catalin has a deep shine + original factory gloss, rich color and glow, which, is highlighted with the contrasting bright raspberry trim. The design of this radio while boxy has numerous Art Deco elements such as the outline grill surrounding the grill slits, semi-circle handle and fluted knobs. This is an uncommon DeWald model to find in any color combination.
Radio cabinet has no cracks, chips, hairlines, tube burns or repairs. The raspberry trim is all original with no cracks, or repairs. Gold patterned grill cloth is original to the radio. Dial plastic + decal are exact replacements. Radio and trim have small scratches consistent with careful use + age. This great radio would make a great addition to any radio or Art Deco collection.
Radio measures: 9.5" wide x 6.25" high x 6" deep. This set is sold "as-is + untested", the chassis seems complete. Set is being sold as a "non-working" vintage electronic device that should be gone over by a qualified technician.
