Item Description
1.75" tall with front designed like a radio case with die-cut window at top and ruby-jeweled knob that turns to show one of 5 bw pictures in the window. If piece is disassembled, the names of the five characters including "Helen Trent" are printed on the reverse of the paper photo disk. This famous show lasted on radio from 1933 through 1960. Badge was issued in 1949. Near full bright luster, N. Mint. Small paper instruction sheet is 5.5x2.25” and explains instructions of operating mechanical badge. Some general creasing from storage and minor soiling to top right and bottom edge, about FN. The first example we’ve seen of the instruction sheet.
