1958 Motorola 6X39A-2:

4 7/8"H x 6 1/2"W x 2 1/2"D excluding antenna handle

Six transistors, two tuning bands, AM and LW. A wonderful radio, but it's so fat & clunky you'd think it was built to withstand a hurricane. The antenna handle's cubic volume alone could easily fit one of the smaller US or Japanese pocket radios...
