Spectacular novelty radio by Trophy is in full working condition! In the shape of a large baseball, radio stands 10” tall, approx. 8” wide, with three speakers – one on the top, one in the front, and one in the back. Great detail with a design closely resembling the sphere which symbolizes our National pastime. Print reads “Official League Ball”, large on the sweet spot with “Cushion Cork Center”. “No AA Selected Quality Genuine Horsehide” printed above, just below the top speaker. Equipped with a knob on left side for volume and a tuning knob on right. Metal “Trophy” manufacturer’s logo is attached across the top speaker (tarnished to a brown color). On the bottom is stamped, “Zuckerman Radio 917 Manhattan Ave. June 6, 1946”. One of the speaker screens is detached, but present. Just looking at this piece takes you back to a time when TV wasn’t as prevalent, and the popular voice of America was heard through radio.
