1937 Sparton 558 Sled designed by Walter Dorwin Teague
The Sparton 558-B blue tinted mirror radio was introduced in June of 1937 as a deluxe version of the model 557 that debuted the previous year. All are attributed to esteemed industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague. Although similar to the 557, the 558 features extended engraving of the front mirror plus engraving of the top and left mirrors. In contrast, the 557 has markings on neither its top nor left side.
A distinctive feature of the 558 is the dark banding which embellishes the front and top mirrors. This banding's disjoint nature creates the illusion of depth, especially on top, where the eye is readily deceived into believing the fabrication is based upon two mirrors, one atop the other, rather than upon a single piece of glass. Such was Walter Teague's design genius!To be safely shipped the glass panels will need to be removed for shipment. we will include instructions on how to reassemble it
