Listing details

This is a rare radio that you’re not going to see every day. It’s a 1940 carryabout portable radio that could be powered with line voltage or battery. It is not working and needs to be completely rewired and restored. I think it would also be a cool candidate to convert to a Bluetooth radio. It does have the previous owner’s name and rank written on the bottom right corner. “Lt Colonel Fred H. Stoll Infantry”. I assume he’s the one that put the luggage decals on it during his travels giving this old radio a truly unique look as a piece of luggage. Measures approximately 14.7 x 10.6 x 5.1 inches and weighs approximately 14 pounds. Please see pictures for condition and let me know if you have any questions.
