Another New Acquisition - Philco Radiobar
#1

Just got back from packing up and moving my daughter in a UHaul from Ft Lauderdale back home to Norfolk, VA. While I was down there on Saturday, I contacted a lady on a classified for a Philco radio. It was a chairside, but had the end part flipped up to show slots for glasses. The price was $100, so I jumped on it and when I had her on the phone I asked here if there were any glasses with the set. She said, "well I bought this long ago, but it did have some glasses that came with it that I put in the cupboard. There were several which she wanted to sell separately, so we settled for $140 total on the radio and glassware. I met her in Jupiter, FL in the UHaul and brought it back home where it sits in my collection...
The pictures below show that it is a scarce chairside radiobar. Decal read Philco Radiobar and Radiobar ID plate is inside. Still need to find more missing glasses, and it appears to have an area for decanters. Maybe someone can tell me what it SHOULD have in the way of glassware.

Note from site admin: Sorry, but the photos which were attached to this post are no longer available.
