1940 Motorola 51B "auto-grille" bakelite

[decojoe67]

Here's a rare one. Not only is the 2-knob "A" version difficult to find, but this 3-knob (added center tone control) model is even tougher to find. I looked for years. I can only guess that due to it's small size and light weight, many of these were dropped or knocked off tables. They also came painted ivory and even a battery model. This one is AC and does have a dial lamp. Just a beautiful piece of art-deco eye-candy. I added a photo with my hand on the set to show how small these are.
