1940s Westinghouse bakelite model H-126 \"Little Jewel\"

What a fun find! Cute little Bakelite radio.

Research shows this is probably a model Number H-126 and was made sometime between 1946 and 1949. A six tube radio.
Referred to as a refrigerator radio because of its styling, and according to one source, in 1945 Westinghouse gave you one for free if you bought a Westinghouse refrigerator.
See what I mean! Fun!

This is as found. One knob is changed. It plays but with a soft hum. Also the W lights up in the front. Handle works great. This is showing dirt, flash is bringing out more than I feel is there. I see one scratch that shows in the flash upper left, its small. The bakelite has no cracks or chips that I see. The brass like the rest of it could use a polishing but then I think it would absolutely glow. It\'s nice the way it is too.

Approx. dimensions - 13\" tall with handle up, 9\" without. 6\" Wide and 5.5\" deep.

This would be a terrific gift for the radio guy in your life or for your own collection. The display is great, or play and enjoy the nostalgia.

Please see all photos and email with any questions prior to purchase. Thanks
