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. Phil Nelson Phil's Old Radios http://antiqueradio.org/index.html |
