Beautiful + Rare Fada model 700 'Cloud' catalin radio in marbleized blue with ivory. The Catalin model 700 'Cloud' was made starting in 1946 by the FADA Radio & Electric Co.

It is uncommon to find a blue 700 in as perfect a condition. The ivory pearlized plastic handle and knobs are original to the radio and are also in perfect condition. This set retains its original reverse painted dial plastic, manufacturers sticker + masonite back.
