1935 Kadette "Cameo" radio
 

Boredom is getting the better of me and I nabbed this 1935 Kadette Cameo model 90. There was 2 brown bakelite models. One had brown cameo's with all brown knobs and the other had black cameos with the small knobs in black. The military cadet silhouettes appear to be sterling silver. It very compact, but like lifting a brick! It has a wonderful solid feel to it. This one has been electronically restored and plays well for it's size.

You're getting into the real high end antique radio collectibles here! I've never seen one of these outside of a book, it is beautiful!

Thank you. It actually wasn't all that pricey. It has a couple of small imperfections on the bakelite back panel, but other than that, it's pretty clean. I never looked into this model much before, but now that I am, I'm not finding a whole lot of examples or info on the Net. It's probably the least common plastic Kadette model. Interestingly, this model came with an optional adapter to use it in the car! This one doesn't have that. It's just a home AC model.
These also came in a very rare "peanut-butter" colored mottled cabinet and, I believe white too. I wouldn't want to try to find one of those.
