This is a curious little radio I bought only a few years ago, because I enjoyed the lines. I don’t remember what I paid for it, but it was probably in the $30-40 range. It was manufactured by the Hardware Merchandising Corporation, and I understand it’s based on a 1947 or 1948 Crosley Model 58TL or a 57TL (via this site). I haven’t cleaned it up, turned it on, or done anything to it other than put it on a shelf, so it has a future date with some Brasso and a tube tester.
