Make sure to check out all of my auctions after you’ve looked at this one. I’m listing an eclectic assortment of museum quality antiques and collectibles this week, and I suspect that there will be something to interest just about everybody. Here’s an exceptionally nice 1938 Majestic Charlie McCarthy radio. This is the less common brown version, and its condition is excellent to near mint throughout. Charlie is complete (including the monocle and chain), with vibrantly colored enamel and no damage or paint deterioration. The case is pristine — probably the nicest CM case I’ve ever seen. In the back, below the lower left screw hole, there’s small chip (hidden by the back cover), but the other screw holes are perfect (very unusual for this radio), and the case itself is almost like new, with no cracks, no gouges, no scars, and a beautifully formed grill whose slats are straight and undamaged. The chassis is likewise clean — with minimal oxidation and the original paper label still intact — and the radio still works. Has modest performance consistent with other low tube-count 30′s mantle radios, but when warmed up, the radio will tune most high-powered local stations and play them good volume. The line cord has been replaced, but the antenna line is original and in good shape. Overall, a really super example of an eminently collectible antique radio. And if you’re looking for a companion to perch beside it, check out the Effanbee Charlie McCarthy doll I’m listing separately this week. It’s the rare 1st version with “Eddie Bergen” printed on the box instead of Edgar Bergen, and like the radio you see in this listing, the doll’s condition is close to mint. The two have been shelf-mates for decades, and it would be nice if they could stay together a bit longer. That’s about it. Rest assured it will arrive at your home in the same fine condition in which it leaves mine.
