Circa 1910, manufactured by General Electric, Memphis, Tennessee.

Thomas Sparton "Bluebird" Mirror Radio

Circa 1935, model no. 566 (506), blue-mirrored chrome, circular dial bezel and horizontal connecting bars, on ebonized ball feet. Designed by Walter Dorwin Teague, the public's interest in the "Bluebird" was due to its sleek futuristic design. In excellent overall condition. 14x15x5 inches

Circa 1958. Missing exterior power button and antenna, however, otherwise complete. Considered luxuries when they were introduced in the 1950s and are equally collectable and desirable today.
