'46 Motorola "Mother's Day" radio

This is an odd one that's a special factory model. It's a budget AA5 radio with an ivory (or light green) painted cabinet and floral decals obviously designed to be placed in the kitchen. On the Net there's little information about it and only a couple of decent examples. It seems most of these took quite a beating being in a kitchen for decades. This one was no exception and required a complete overhaul including grill cloth replacement. Fortunately the decals and dial were in good shape, although the cabinet needed much touching-up. I got it cheap and was surprised that it works well as-is. The chassis is only about 3" wide!
