Addison 2 Radio in Swirled Navy Blue + White
Intensely Marbleized 1940's Art Deco Addison
Ref: RA847
Intensely marbleized Addison A2 Waterfall Radio in swirled Navy Blue with Ivory Bakelite / Plaskon trim made circa 1940 by Addison Industries Limited in Canada. The unique styling, bold use of color, and intense marbleizing would make this radio a truly beautiful addition to any collection. This stylized Art Deco radio features the famous 'waterfall' speaker grill trim and surround 'bumpers' with speed-lines that really make for a streamlined radio design. If you are looking for a great addition to your collection, please consider this striking radio.
This particular example is a stunning radio in excellent original condition with no cracks, chips, tube burns or repairs to the cabinet. The creamy white Plaskon trim is complete and factory original to the radio and has no cracks, chips, burns or repairs. The original matching marbleized knobs are also perfect. Retains manufactures' label affixed to bottom of cabinet. Clear dial plastic cover is a correct replacement. This model was never meant to have a back panel, as the screw holes were never drilled at the factory. Radio has been well taken care of and only shows some fine scratches consistent with age + careful use.
Radio measures approximately 10.25" wide x 6" high x 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.
