1946 Westinghouse "refridgerator" radio
I always regretted selling my little H-126 ivory Westinghouse "refrigerator" radio years ago. I finally came across a nice original working one recently and grabbed it. I liked the idea of it being the model H-125 green-blue version with dark green plastics. Although it often looks light blue in photos, it actually is a nice, very 1940's, slate blue tone in person. I'm sure this was a color option on Westinghouse refrigerators at the time. I was ready to give this one a careful touch-up, but it came out so nice after an extensive cleaning/polishing, I think I'm just going to leave it as-is. It has a very nice patina, and as anyone who has one of these knows, a surprisingly good performer! A must have set in any collection.
