The radio is in working condition and has a cabana brown bakelite case. It is a unit type item and comes in a quantity of one. This collectible radio falls under the category of tube radios from the 1950s. This radio works well. The only problem is that the tuning knob cable that turns the frequency pointer is a bit loose. The pointer has to be helped to go through the complete frequency range. The pointer is large and easily accessible, and stations can be tuned easily. A very nice old radio that is in pretty good shape for being around 70 years old.
