OH WOW!
Here I go getting jealous again. DON "Phil Nelson" wrote in message ... 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 |
