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.
