Item Description
5x9x6" tall. 1930s. Appears complete and all original including tubes, wires and electric cord with plug although Australian configuration so we are not able to test it. Glass dial on front of radio features small, classic image of Mickey. Raised text on front of base reads "Mickey Astor Mouse." Fabric speaker cover remains intact although a number of small scattered holes. Back bottom edge of the metal base plate has 1" dia. Mickey Mouse decal with text reading "By Arrangement With Walt Disney Enterprises." This has some small flakes but 95% complete. Bakelite body of the radio has scattered small traces of surface wear but no chips, cracks, etc. All remains totally bright, clean and VF. Rare, the only example we've offered in our 42 years. A desirable item for both collectors of Mickey Mouse and bakelite radios. Classic deco design. From the Michael J. Stern Collection.
