Rare DeWald 561 'Jewel' Radio in Butterscotch + Blue Catalin

Seldom Seen Color Combo of a Rare Model DeWald Radio

Ref: RA958

Stunning and Rare catalin DeWald 561 'Jewel' radio in butterscotch with marbleized blue trim. One of only 3 Catalin radios ever manufactured by DeWald and made in 1939. The beautiful yellow catalin cabinet is brought out by contrasting original blue trim. This is a truly 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, burns or repairs. The blue (patina'd to green) marbleized trim is all-original with no cracks, chips, or repairs.  Gold grill cloth is original to the radio and in great condition. 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.
