RED Sentinel Wavy Grill Catalin Bakelite Tube Radio-WOW

*Please read full description before placing your bid*

I am pleased to offer an Oxblood with Butterscotch Trim Sentinel "Wavy Grill" Catalin Bakelite Tube Radio made circa 1945.  This radio displays extremely well. This example displays its marbelization wonderfully having been professionally refinished entirely by hand with no machine sanding.  John Sideli calls this radio "A wonderfully robust design... with its car-bumper grill and headlight-like knobs has a certain humor about it and is quite unlike anything else that was ever made in a Catalin Set. It is, without a doubt, one of the more interesting and stylish postwar models”.  Be sure to check out all pictures of this example as I am sure that you will agree it is a great addition to any collection or art deco office or home decor. Please be sure to check out my other auctions as there is something for everyone in every price range and many are offered at no reserve including several other choice condition catalins and some great art deco bakelites and mirrored radios.   If you are looking for a unique gift that is also a great collectible, consider this beautiful vintage vacuum tube radio!  See full condition report below.
