This is an ultra rare Climax “Baby Ruby” made in 1938. Although the styling of this cabinet is a big Art Deco statement, the radio is relatively small measuring only 7.7" high! Climax went all out in 1938 with the Art Deco design and made a family of radios including the Climax 60, Emerald, Ruby, Baby Ruby and Gem. We are unsure if this had a wooden or masonite back panel, but that is the only thing missing from this otherwise beautiful radio.
