Rare Vintage Fada Catlin Radio. Please view photos for condition.
Advertised as the "Gems of the Radio Industry" they sold for .95.
The Fada Model 115 "Streamliner" or "Bullet" radios were considered to be
amongst the finest designed classics of the mid-century tube radio era.
Early "portables" with top handle and built-in antenna made these radios versatile.
"The 1940 Fada "Bullet" 115 Streamliner is truly a classic in catalin radio design. One of the most popular, gorgeous and
successful radios ever made, it was the first Fada radio to employ a grill that was an integral part of the cabinet, instead
of an insert, and to feature the famous "drop" handle that was ultimately adopted by other manufacturers. The design
reeks "Deco" and differs from the later "1000" model in its smooth gumdrop knobs."
This radio does not work. Has the tube chassis and built-in antenna.
Power cord is tucked inside the cabinet.
Missing one knob.
