I found today this bakelite radio produced in France by Sonora, it's the Sonorette model and it's really sought-after by colelctors, last year I saw one in the Netherlands and it was priced at 900 € ! I got it today for 1/3 of this price, that can be expensive for a radio but this one is a real beauty, it was produced in 1949 and there was several colors produced, if I remember ( Brown, green, red, white, burgundy )

Love it, reminds me of a old Buick
thanks for all the love and comments
schallerpen, sonora made the design of their radios to look like the grills of old cars from the 1940's, that's why most colelctors wants so much thoses radios
I had no clue about looking like old cars, but I can surely see that in them, I can see where I need to start collecting some, we went out yesterday but didn't see any.
