DeWald Catalin Radio 561 'Jewel' in Butterscotch + Blue - RARE

Rare Color Combo of a Seldom Seen Model DeWald Radio

Ref: RA689

Rare catalin DeWald 561 'Jewel' radio in butterscotch with marbleized bright lapis-lazuli blue trim. One of only 3 Catalin radios ever manufactured by DeWald and made in 1939. The beautiful yellow catalin cabinet has marbleizing and a beautiful gloss. The original blue trim adds contrast and style to this stunning example of a DeWald model. 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 and this color combo is about as rare as it gets in the Catalin genre.

The radio cabinet has no cracks, chips, tube burns or repairs. The bright blue marbleized trim is all-original with no cracks, chips, or repairs; trim has been polished back to its factory original lapis-lazuli blue color from its oxidized dark green coloring. Gold 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.
