THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Here is a simply gorgeous highly marbleized Kadette Art Deco, molded Beetle Plaskon, tube radio model H also known by collectors as the "Gothic" model. This 1931 radio was made by the International Radio Corp. in Ann Arbor, Michigan and is one of the first mass produced plastic Bakelite radios. The radio is in stunning, original condition. Its heavy marbleizing highlights this set with evenly distributed flecks of white, green, brown, white scattered throughout. No cracks or major scratches which is rare. Grille cloth appears original, with no rips, no seams, no separation, no water stains. Plays well with attached factory antenna. Previous owner did a complete electronic restore and even added a new cloth era correct power cord. The radio still retains the original matching beetle Plaskon back, which has no stresses, but is missing the left and right corner trim around the corner screw holes. These slight issues in no way detract form the beauty and rarity of this radio. The original matching Beetle plastic flower knobs and gold toned metal dial scales all in great condition. This is an exceptional and radio. Very small at 8-3/4"W x 6"H x 4"D.
