Hello Everyone,
I thought you would enjoy this post on a radio that was at auction from Armadale Australia that is the only reason i did not bid on it because shipping would cost a small sum !
Anyway,  this radio is The Fisk Radiolette, which is a beautiful black bakelite case mantle radio, circa 1934

Here is a couple great photos of the set does anyone know anything about this company and this set ?

Sincerely Richard

It looks Gothic. Probably bakelite? I'll bet the dial would do well with a gentle cleaning and a new cover.
