An NOS 1940 Airline radio

[decojoe67]

Here's a rare find these days. An NOS radio from 1940. This Airline (made by Montgomery Wards) model 04BR-513A appears to have never been used. The supplied station tags have never even been inserted into the pushbuttons. It has all the cardboard inserts in the original box as well as paperwork and tags. The chassis had all out of spec components replaced to play as new as it looks. Items like this were often gifts whereas the recipient had no immediate use for it. As was how the old-timers were, it was often carefully placed on a shelf, maybe to given to someone later, in the closet, only to unearthed decades later. The case shines like it was freshly polished.
