I have owned a couple of dozen tube portables (more like three dozen if you count Zenith TransOceanics). Most were your typical AC/battery 1950s sets; a number of them have been sold or traded away.
My favorites are European: a Schaub-Lorenz "Golf-Luxus" and a Philips LX444AB/01.
When my Dad was a child, they lived on a farm and used a battery radio. It had a lead acid battery like an auto; they brought the battery to town for recharging every once in a while.
