Has been in my family for generations. I think it is from around 1940, judging from the similar pics I have found. I have not been able to find a GE model though. Just wondering the model, year and maybe the value. Its in very good condition, works great...reminds me of the Christmas Story movie. Only knock on it is the missing left knob. Could use a good dusting, now that I look. Thanks for lookin!

Hello, Quite often I get people asking me the same question. my first impression is that the radio is in fair condition. If I was to sell this radio in my shop, as is, I would ask $150. If the radio chassis (electronics) were fully restored and made safe to operate then I would say around $400-600
