Silver 139-JS (1937)
(wood tube table radio w/SW)

Silver 139-JS (1937)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Here is a nice seldom seen Art Deco wood radio by Silver Co. Lovely football shaped walnut cabinet sitting on toned platform which really accents the waterfall ends. Beautiful multi-colored dial in green, yellow, & red with two worlds surrounded by brass escutcheon. The chassis has been electronically restored by a professional, replacing all of the capacitors & also resistors & tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse and antenna lead were installed. There is not much written about this manufacturer, but the Silver Folder 1938 for Season 1937/38 names it "Walnut" and "To-Na-Coustic" likely made by Clinton in Chicago as some online researchers allude to. This is a five tube two-band set & radio plays very well & picks up on both bands with great sensitivity & selectivity with the attached antenna, tho not much on SW nowadays. Extra clean, rust-free chassis. Cabinet has been nicely refinished and has no blemishes (rate it a 9.5+). Radio also has the original wood back on it & believe the grille cloth, knobs, speaker & and dial all original. This radio is a conversation piece & would enhance most any collection. 15"W x 9"H x 6"D.
