This brown bakelite art deco style radio was made in Australia in the 1950s and is a beautiful example of a mantel radio from its time. The radio is not working (the lights come on but no sound is produced) and the bakelite is as per image. Just for the needy, bakelite which is really called polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride was the first plastic made from synthetic materials and developed by Leo Baekeland.
