 | Emerson 169 Old Hickory Furniture (1938). If you like one of a kind rare radio variations this beauty is for you. The Old Hickory furniture Company dates back to 1899 when it was incorporated in 1939 old Hickory introduced the provincial collection. At this time they started doing custom design work. I verified with Bob Morrison at old Hickory. He had no other information other than this was their custom design. The top of the cabinet had to be refinished do to water damage. Otherwise it is in all original condition. The chassis has all new capacitors and plays well with strong clear sound and receives both AM and shortwave. A piece of history. Old Hickory furniture can be found in the homes of Presidents, National Parks such as the Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone. 28"H x 14-1/2"W x 10"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $799.00.

 | Emerson 574 "Momento" (1949). Here is an extremely hard to find classic Emerson radio in excellent condition. This set was available in three variations: a black Catalin case, a burled walnut case, and a red leatherette case. Of the three versions, I believe this red leatherette set is the hardest to find in good condition, as most of the Catalin sets were susceptible to cracks, and the walnut cases seemed to always have many veneer issues. This red leatherette case is in excellent condition without any rips or tears, just a few small nicks in the covering. This is a battery-operated set with three "D" cells and a battery pack of seven 9-volt batteries producing the necessary "B" voltage. And unlike most of these radios, where they are always described as "untested," this Emerson is working & playing very well because it has all brand-new batteries in it. When the case is opened, and the small clear plastic piece is raised, the radio turns on. Push it down and the radio turns off. I have owned several of these particular models, and I have never seen or read that the plastic on-off switch is spring loaded. It receives reception on all of my local AM stations without any problems. Everything is original, knobs and picture frame. The top snaps shut when you close it. I have included a picture of my old sweetheart in the frame, at no charge. But her phone number will cost you extra! About 7-1/2" square x 3-1/2"H. David Spivey.

 | Emerson AX-238 (1938). Sometimes called a "jewel box" this Emerson AX-238 should be IN the box, as it is a little jewel itself. The wood in the Ingraham cabinet is absolutely gorgeous. The thing is just struck all over with cute. The cabinet was already restored when I bought it and is very nice. The chassis has been modified to eliminate the "curtain burner" power cord by a previous servicer. I took care of a few errors and omissions, fitted it with all high testing tubes and gave it a full alignment. The receiver performance is surprisingly good for a five-tube novelty radio. I was able to recover some poor repair work on the speaker, and give it a coat of the amazing Parts Express wet look product. It sounds very good for a 4-incher now. The original volume control has been replaced with an On/off/volume control, but the lid actuated on/off switch still works. This radio is a total eye catcher, and will get noticed! Requires an external antenna. 10"W x 6"H x 8-1/2"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $425.00. (0000063) |

 | Homemade Treasure Chest. This is a homemade radio using a 1939 RCA model 9TX21 chassis and I'm guessing an old jewelry box. No dial scale, just a window with the original RCA pointer underneath. The chassis has been restored with new capacitors and checked resistors. Plays well with a long wire antenna. 10"W x 7"H x 7"D with lid closed. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $99.00.

 | Majestic 381 "Treasure Chest". I've seen a lot of "jewel box" and "treasure chest" radios, but they are all just pretenders compared to this ornately decorated Majestic 381. Majestic's cabinet guys went whole hog and created a treasure chest that Blackbeard would be proud to steal. This came to me with the chassis heavily modified. I put it back to all original. I even fitted it with all original Majestic tubes, including the two metal coated ones. For a four-tube novelty radio, the performance is pretty good and the sound from the 4-inch speaker is surprisingly good as well. If you want a radio people will notice, look no further. Requires an external antenna. 10"W x 10"H x 7-1/2"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $359.00. (0000073) |
 | Majestic 5A410A Coca Cola Cooler (1949). The 1949 Coca-Cola Cooler Radio was produced by Point-of-Purchase Displays Inc. in Chicago as an exclusive promotional in-store display for prime Coca-Cola retailers. Meaning these original tube radios (countless solid-state reproductions were made in the 1990's, with the tell-tale cassette tape player built in) are very scarce because they were not sold in retail outlets to the general public. They don't turn up very often. This example still has its original paint with only minor loss in small areas. Common to these, one of the side grill bars was broken out. A new one was carefully made and paint mixed to match the original color. It is barely noticeable. The five-tube chassis was completely recapped, controls cleaned and lubricated for smooth operation. An aux 3.5mm cord was attached at no extra cost for playing your own content through the radio. It receives all of my local stations with its built-in loop antenna. If you've always wanted an original tube powered Coke radio, here's a rare opportunity to acquire one. 12-1/2" W x 10" T x 8-1/2" D Greg Van Beek. E-mail: nostalgiaradiotime@yahoo.com $599.00.
