Listing is for a 1930′s, 40′s Motorola catalin/bakelite tube radio Model 51×16 Aero-vane, high efficiency loop made by the Galvin Mfg. It is a deep butterscotch color with a greenish color face plate and handle. The cord is okay but when plugged in I saw no lights or heard no sounds. The two knobs turn freely. The fabric in front has some fraying and the plastic plate over the dial is cloudy and hard to see through, it also looks warped. The case is in great condition with no cracks, gouges or damage, the handle pulls up to carry. It measures 9 1/2 inches long, 5 1/2 inches high and 5 1/2 inches wide. Someone out there may love it and be able to restore it and get it working again.
