The white one is cool (well OK they're both cool). It came in many colors. Along with several other similar models, it formed the "Crosley Dashboard" line. Early 1950s. The other one is 30s-40s.

Where'd'ja find em?

I've got the twin brother to the one in the first pic. Those radios are built like a tank.

Yeah, I've got a similar set, made in '53. Plays VERY strong, & still has the original caps in it. I think Crosley must have been a cut above most of the rest-the tuning knob has real "heft", & after a little cleaning & a couple coats of Meguier's, it looked brand-new.-Sandy G.

They made fridges, too

Yeah, what is it, a D25? It's funny how they caught on then, and still do! There were a million of them back in the day, and as a result became quite common. But because of the dashboard look, it and the E15 still fetch a pretty penny.

This is my ratty E15 yet to be re-done in white automotive paint (by a body shop).

I'm missing only one tool to do it: a round tuit.
