Tinytone Crystal Radio

[designdesign]

I have listed a Tinytone Crystal Radio on my site. It was manufactured in 1959 by Western Manufacturing Co of Kearney, Nebraska.

Western Manufacturing Co was founded by Paul Beshore and his brothers in the early 1940’s. They released this particular design after the War and it remained pretty much unchanged for over 15 years. It has been credited with anticipating and likely influencing the look of later shirt pocket transistor radios!

It came with a 10 year guarantee but mine still works well after nearly 50 years! With its futuristic 1940's inspired design its just so damn cool!
