Like the 1960 Yaou 6G-397, here is a petite shirt pocket radio made by Yaou that incorporates some unique and maybe a bit too busy cabinet design elements.

Joe Haupt's Flick page for that radio shows an "AUG. 29.1959" final inspection date tag on its inside back cover -- see photo below. This Yaou "General" shown here has a final inspection tag dated "29.DEC. 1960".
