If you love antique radios as much as we do read below the article

These appliances, from the 1930s and 1940s for the most part, were created in what is perdeived by many to be better times. I wasn't alive, or an adult, in the 1930s, 40s, or 50s so I can't say is I agree that those times were better. But one thing is certain: Radio was better then. Both the broadcasts and the sets themselves.

Each radio is a time capsule, echoing much about the era in which it was created and uses. I can't help but imagine the lives and times of their designers, purchasers and users. I ask myself why design and marketing decisions were made, what programs were heard through these devices.

These objects were once taken for granted by their owners, to be discarded as the detritus of everyday life. Now, however, they are not. Freed of the need to function as necessary appliances, they can be seen for what they are works of art.
