Rare Streamline 1930's American Radio model# 219

Ref: RA128

This is a rare Plaskon with marbled Beetle Plastic Art Deco Detrola "Super Pee-Wee" radio model # 219 designed in 1938 by George W. Walker for the Detrola Company of Detroit Michigan.

The case is made of jet black Plaskon with a "Wrap Around" grill of marbled Beetle Plastic and is in great condition.  Cabinet and trim are free of any cracks, chips, hairlines or repairs. Dial knob has the usual slight warp.  This is the best example of a Super Pee-Wee I have owned.

The radio measures approximately: 5" high by 8" wide by 5" 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.
