Nice early 30s radio at Chicago estate.
 
In the eighth row of pictures there is a very nice looking radio, I don't recognize the brand.

I was #8 in line. They are Herald ? speakers. I thought perhaps they were Klipsch. That's why I was there an hour early. Don't know anything about Herald. Anyway, I missed some great LPs at another sale by going here first. Please don't tell me I screwed up by not getting these. :no: Oh well.

Looks like maybe a Philco radio? The speakers look like Klipsch clones, or home made jobbies..

Guess no one caught the Marantz sitting on top of the speakers?

OH.. or the real jewel.. looks like a single strange Thruster sitting next to the small TVs

Herald Speakers, Ed, those are the holy grail.

Ha, never heard of them. Live to fight another day.

The console radio is a Philco 90.

Just imagine sitting their listening to the radio ads and serials as well as the news. A lot of history in that thing.

Good save, I saw it too but no time to get it or the radio. Anyone grab the radio??

The old upright radio is indeed a Philco 90 Lowboy - 1931 w/9 tubes. Someone locally sold one of those about month ago here which was in very nice cosmetic condition. Asking price was $100.00 when the ad disappeared.
