Syl, I'm not looking for any particular set, just a swirly brown that looks appealing. As these are not the types
I mainly collect, I want a cheapy. Most with cool styling cost too much so I thought a common hippo or smaller
set wouldfill the bill. I already have a plain-jane 48-250 that sure looks like plastic to me, so I want to see the
bakelite for comparison.

Phil,

The 48-225 is plastic, the 48-250 and 48-460 are bakelite (I have all three) If you want a really nice Bakelite
set with swirled Bakelite I have a 41-90 (battery set): http://radioatticarchives.com/radio.php?radio=5503
(not my picture but same set). Email me.
