Rare Circassian Onyx Emerson AU-190 Catalin Radio - Great Swirls
Great Circassian Onyx Brown Catalin Emerson Tombstone Radio
Ref: RA790
Spectacularly Marbleized Emerson AU-190 Catalin Tombstone radio from 1937 in a Brown or Circassian Onyx as referred to by Emerson. This radio is absolutely stunning + seldom found in this color. The brown heavily swirled Catalin cabinet is beautifully marbleized with tones of yellow, clear + 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. Radio retains the original back panel in good condition. Water-slide decal + dial plastic are correct replacements. Radio has small scratches consistent with age + use of set. This highly marbleized Emerson radio is absolutely striking and would make a fantastic addition to a radio collection.
Radio measures approximately: 7" wide by 10" high by 5" deep. This set is sold "as-is + untested", the chassis seems complete; cord is cut. Set is being sold as a "non-working" vintage electronic device that should be gone over by a qualified technician prior to use.
