Talisman 308U Bakelite Radio

Super rare and stylish art deco radio cased in wonderful maroon bakelite. This is a rare model to find in the UK as it's an unusual Czechoslovakian model by the Tesla company. Made in the 1950s, it has a fabulous teardrop shape and the original cream bakelite knobs. This is being sold as a decorative piece only however it has been PAT tested and has all its internal parts so could work with an aerial. The bakelite is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks; one faint scratch to the top as photographed. It looks fabulous on display and is a stunning piece of later art deco history which is not easy to come across. Width - 31 cms. Height - 18 cms. Depth - 14.5 cms.
