This is a 1937 Silver model 159 known as the "Circular". An ultra-rare radio that is also very desirable among serious antique radio collectors. It is just over 12" high and is complete, right down to the original wooden back panel. The cabinet is thin and fragile which is likely the reason so few examples of this model have survived to this day.
