And now for something some might find really interesting!

There was a shipping label on the back with a name and address! The unit at one time resided in a home in the Ingleside Terrace area of San Francisco.

I did a Google search and found the house both on street view, and a listing on Zillow.

According to Zillow, the house was built in 1927, and it last sold in 1974 for $85,000. Now currently valued at $2.5 million!! I wish the radio had risen in value as much as the house has!
