Striking Swirled Circassian Onyx/Brown Emerson AU-190 Catalin Radio

Great Circassian Onyx Brown Catalin Emerson Tombstone Radio

Ref: RA899

Highly 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 heavily swirled brown catalin cabinet has 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, tube burns or repairs and has a beautiful gloss to it. The 3 matching catalin knobs are perfect + original to the radio. Radio Cabinet has on the inside bottom rear back panel mounting hole (back panel retaining screw hole) a small chip that can not be seen when displayed, this is a common occurrence on this model - see photos. 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 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.
