    Made in about 1948, I used to have one of these radios waaay back in 1962. Found this rebuilt one recently. Had to buy it! Plays great! Tube radios have that great sound quality.

      The casing is Bakelite. Great condition!

      These were certainly built to last! I have the same radio in a cream color. Philco built them right.
