I read those quints were doing radio commercials for products like Palmolive etc, I guess they were a big deal back then, Octomom didn't get the same reception for birthing her litter.
Thank You gargoylecollector !!
Thank You fifties50s !!
Thank You AR8Jason !!
Great radio find! The radio is basically a basic 07-5B "Senior Varsity" model from 1939 with Dionne Quintuplets transfers attached. The Quints were a huge advertizing deal back then and the people could not get enough of them.
