Antique Silvertone Tabletop Radio - Model 4653:
$305.50

This 1936 Silvertone (Model 4653) is a tabletop radio that features a stunning Art Deco "Wrap-around/Waterfall" design wood cabinet.
The cabinet has an attractive slanted grain across the front and side and Art Deco speaker cut-outs with an era-correct grille cloth. Overall the cabinet is in great shape with a few minor scratches (see photo).
The gold dial with "ring around the globe" emblem, nice letters and numbers, clear dial glass, and Tenite escutcheon (there is a small section on the escutcheon missing...see photo) which matches the four original knobs (on/off/volume, tone, tuning, & band).
A six-tube receiver, it covers the AM band (550-1850 KC) and has Foreign band coverage (up to 19 MC). Both the AM and Foreign band work (the Police band is no longer active) but does need an antenna attached.
This beauty is ready for you to proudly display and listen to, but it is 90 years old, and like all antique radios is not intended for everyday, all day use.
It was sold under the Sears & Roebuck brand name "Silvertone" as part of the "Sears Golden Jubilee," which offered a series of radios with different sized gold dials and styles. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer example.
Dial is perfect and illuminates for night use. 16"W x 10"H x 9-1/4"D. Related Items:
