This is the Labrador Gray version of the Philco 511 series of radios! The metal cabinet was designed by Hollingsworth Pearce and it was hand-painted under the supervision of Mademoiselle Messaros! Philco promoted these sets by proclaiming. Now, for the first time, radio in color. Vivid colors to harmonize with your home. As you can see from the pictures, the radio is in really good shape for being 90 years old. Th ere are some minor paint scratches and wear in places like you might expect on a piece from this era. I believe that this radio is 100% original, or very close if not. The interior looks good bu t I’m sure that it could use a good/thorough cleaning. I was told that the radio works but I did not plug it in as I do not have the proper equipment to turn this radio on slowly. All of the various dials and switches seem to be working as they should be. It is the Nile Green Philco 214 speaker also very rare! Please be sure to preview all of the pictures so that you can determine the condition for yourself.
