About Antique Wood Radios

Early radio cabinets were made from wood until thermoplastic resins (e.g. Bakelite and Catalin) displaced wood in the 1930s and 40s as the material of choice for mass-produced household items. Wood radio cabinets were ornamental and aesthetically pleasing, often painted or engraved, with fine-hewn speaker cutouts and a polished appearance.
