Radio Looks Like Couple of Books
A NEW radio receiver now on the market has the appearance of a pair of gorgeously bound books, as shown above. One lid opens up to give access to the tuning and volume knobs and the loud speaker.
I was curious so I looked up what one of these are going for today; a 1930’s Stewart Warner Book Radio is currently for sale at $575.

My grandmother has one of these, but it’s a model using highly miniaturized tubes that looks like one book instead of two. It uses battery sizes that are impossible to find now, unfortunately, so I’ve never heard it play.
