This is pretty much new. We bought it in the late 1990s and never used it. The box has long been lost but it still has the original plastic bag it came in. The cord is the original one it came with, I never unraveled it but it seems to be 6 to 9 feet long and has original paperwork in a small plastic bag as well. There are no stains, scratches, or damage but it seems a bit of the finish may have come off the frame toward the back but it’s not noticeable unless you look really close. Everything works (See Pictures). 36.25″ W x 21.0″ H x 3.0 D. FM/MW/LW dashboard poster radio. The piece features an offset lithograph image depicting the inside of a mid-century Cadillac as it drives down an endless desert highway under blue skies. The poster is signed’Zappy’ to the lower left on the driver’s side door panel above the door handle. It includes an inset FM/MW/LW radio and analog clock embedded into the center. The print is presented under plastic, with openings for the dials and speaker holes to the front; it is set inside a black frame with metal wall mounts. This picture is one of the most fun and weirdest things you can own I’ve seen some lovely old traditional radios. This clock radio was about the size of my 32-inch-flat-screen TV and was mounted on the wall. The graphics are great and the colors are very clean, clear, and vibrant. When we saw it in the store I was standing there, staring at it – no, staring into it – gave the illusion of sitting in the front seat of a vintage automobile. Fascinated, I wanted to know more about the clock radio and continued reading the description. Black frame with plexiglass. Speedometer and radio illuminate, radio and clock are functional. Comes with an adapter. Looks and sounds good. Condition: Very Minor wear. The brand name “Dapy” was imprinted on the radio dial, which was affixed between two knobs, and a clock was just to the right of it. The clock radio appeared to be from the 1950s, given the style of the steering wheel, door handle, and gear stick. The whole image has a mid-20th-century look and feel to it.

Vintage 19241925 1926 Westburr Six Portable Tube Radio Packard Cadillac Lincoln
vintage
Comments Off
This is a rare early tube radio made by the Westburr company. This shows just how expensive these radios were. We do not know if it works, as we do not have the proper batteries in which to test it. Internally, it is in good shape. There are six tubes along with 2 spare tubes, still wrapped in their original paper wrappers. The dials turn freely. Inside the case, we have found a business card to “Kellogg & Bertine Electrical and Radio Merchandisers”. Upon a Google search of Kellogg & Bertine, there is little information to be found, other than that they were lamp dealers on Madison Avenue in the 1920′s. Being lamp dealers on that street likely made them higher end dealers, which would explain why they would also be brokers of radios, as expensive as they were. Restored, this is the perfect period accessory to set your 1920′s Packard, Cadillac, Pierce Arrow, etc. Out from the other cars when displayed in such places are Pebble Beach or Amelia Island.
