Pre 1945 . The Westinghouse Little Jewel. If you bought a new frig, the dealer gave you one of these frig radios free.
Here are several pictures and a short video of it in action.

Nice job!
I love the old wood and art deco bakelite radios. I started to collect them awhile back, but didn't keep up with it and the prices went wacko. I ended up selling all but a few, and kept two floor radios and one farm radio.
And yes, I put a polarized plug on it.:lol:Quote:

Good! Did you give it the OSHA "tongue test," where you touch your tongue to the chassis to make sure it's not hot?Quote:

Nice job on the restoration, George.
Da, definitely da. :)
You know-Philco made a series of "refrigerator radios" that had a curved bottom that would fit the curved top of Philco refrigerators. And around 1930 Majestic made a radio that was housed in the top of their fridge. Ah the things we made radios do.
And now LG has a screen on the fridge door...
I'm guessing that the screen to keep the flys out.Quote:

Now if you didn't specify that was a radio I would have sworn it is an old electric heater.Quote:
