Is it in working condition? You are right about that being a keeper, it is a work of art!

This photo is something I pulled off the internet, but I just added a photo of my radio in the gallery. It's not nearly as pristine as this one (it needs some knobs and a good buffing) but it's very special to me and represents some wonderful times.
The photo in the gallery was made in 1948, I think. The radio worked when I bought it in 1981 but it picked up weird frequencies (Radio America). It's stopped working over the years and with many moves but I think it could be put in working condition. Though, I'm just happy with it as it is. It's a comfort for me—seeing it and knowing it's nearby soothes me.
Maybe one day I'll be ready to give it up, but not yet.
