Striking Swirled Green Emerson AU-190 Catalin Tombstone Radio

Spectacular Green Marbleized Catalin 1937 Emerson AU-190 Radio

Ref: RA879

Strikingly Marbleized Emerson AU-190 radio from 1937 in a Green or Brazilian Onyx as Emerson referred to it. This swirled example is absolutely stunning. The green Catalin cabinet is heavily marbleized with tones of green, yellow, clear and brown that add depth to an already beautiful radio. The radio is in original, untouched condition, and is just a great example of this seldom seen color Emerson 'Tombstone' model. 

Radio cabinet is in perfect condition with no cracks, chips, tube burns or repairs and has a beautiful gloss to it. The 3 matching catalin knobs are perfect + original to the radio. Gold fabric grill cloth is original + in great condition with only small signs of age. Water-slide decal + dial plastic are correct replacements. Radio has small scratches consistent with age + use of set. This highly marbleized green Emerson radio is absolutely striking and would make a fantastic addition to a radio collection.

Provenance: From the Collection of French-born American artist Arman (1928-2005)
