Not the handsomest of radios but a favorite "off-brand" of mine — it has the brass-rimmed round grille and a very thin 1 1/16" cabinet thickness — and I especially like the color on this example, a beautiful pale green. The "circa 1959" date here is to indicate this set may have been first produced in 1959 but not marketed until 1960.
