Namco 601 Catalin Radio in Marbleized Blue - Stunning Rarity
Rarely Seen Namco Catalin Radio
Ref: RA583
Rarely seen Namco model 601 Catalin Radio in highly marbleized blue. Manufactured by N.M.Co. NYC, this mid to late 1930's is among the rarest of the catalin radios to be found. This relatively small catalin radio has unique design details such as deep horizontal grooves/louvers that travel around the entire radio and a carved curved handle. This marbleized blue example is absolutely stunning and no other radios compare in design to this model and very few catalin radios are as rare to find.
This radio's beautiful highly marbleized blue catalin cabinet is free of tube burns and chips; however it has had some damage repaired as all Namco radios are damaged. When this model is found it is damaged due to the manufacturing process/grooves. The radio retains its original carved blue handle with no cracks, chips or repairs. Dial plastic and sticker affixed to bottom of cabinet are original to the set. The blue knobs are correct replacements. Radio has small scratches consistent with age + use of set.

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