I have a radio that my mother gave to my father as a gift in the late
1970's (or there abouts, she thinks). It's a Candle made by the Tokyo
Transistor Industry Co., LTD., model TK-2653.

For what it's worth, I associate Candle radios with the late 50s and early
60s, but I'm no expert.

The few Candle radios I'm aware of are shirt pocket AM only transistor
radios.

I recognize the name, and since I wouldn't have noticed much in
the sixties (because I was too young), I have the feeling the label
did run into the seventies.

That said, my impression is that it isn't much more than a label,
that the radios were pretty generic and low end.

Given that, I wouldn't be surprised to find one of those portable
am/fm/sw and "public service" band radios with a Candle label on it.
