The Surcouf "Oceanic"

Th is a radio recently discovered up for bids on eBay.  I have never seen a radio like this before! It is described as being manufactured with BOTH Bakelite and wood - a very rare occurance. The style is absolutely pure deco.

Lamp/Radio. Made by Mitchell Mfg in 1940. 16" tall from base to lamp socket. Reflects the beginning of the space-age craze of the late 50's. (That's not the original lampshade).

Would you buy this at a garage sale?
Think again...sold at auction for $1000.00! It's the highly sought after marble swirl Catalin body that brings the price.
The Arvin 302
Here is a radio/record player that exemplifies the early  part of  the "dashboard" radio era .The chrome grill is much too cool!

The Blue Spartan
Heavy duty collectable which usually sells for 2k or more. One of few radios - let alone anything - made with the blue mirroring. Add that to a stunning design and you can see why this radio is so popular.
