Hi Phil;
Do you have pictures of that other stuff. I would like to see them. I guess
that I am cool in a cheesy way too.

the cathedral is the approx. 3" high Hallmark Cards Christmas ornament
that actually has radio program sounds including static as you as you
turn the dial.

The ornament is kind of cool, in a cheesy way. My wife got me one last
year. I have a handful of other little plastic radios & TVs and it fits
right in!

Do you have pictures of that other stuff.

Here ya go. Some of the little things match (or almost match) radios in my
collection.

The first picture is my Zenith R-514W clock radio with a planter that looks
pretty close.

The second photo shows my Farnsworth GT-051 with a handmade ceramic replica
bank. A few years ago, I was contacted by radio station WFPL (89.3 FM in
Louisville) with a request to use a radio to create ceramic replicas to give
as premiums celebrating their 50th anniversary. I loaned them the Farnsworth
to use as a model, and got one of the replicas in return. They made only 200
of those premium banks. Mine is number 127.

The third photo shows my Emerson 511 with a plastic giveaway bank modeled
after a similar Emerson set. I found the bank on eBay about 10 years after I
restored the radio.

The last photo shows assorted other mini radio and TV replicas. The Emerson
TV with a clown in the screen is another giveaway bank. The Westinghouse TV
with a baby in the screen is a pencil box, presumably another dealer item
either to give away or display on the counter. The metal "TV Bank" at far
right is another common giveaway item; the dealer's name would be printed on
the back.
