My two Marietta finds.
#1

There was surprising little to find in Marietta, Oh radio-wise in the antique shops and the flea market. Mostly postwar table radios, but I did find two hidden jewels. The first is a nice little Airline table radio. One of the bakelite models you find as a replica or an overpriced original. This one surprised me as it was priced cheap and it wasn't a replica! The second radio I almost missed because it blended in with the wall it was up against. A Serenader cathedral radio. Missing the tubes and the knobs, but the price was right and the cabinet is solid in spite of its looks. A little four tube unit that I guess as made in Canada.

   

   

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
