In September we had the house repainted. It was a crazy month but fun. Along the way we desided that the antique radio we had in the living-room so long, needed a "facelift" (I need one too, but I will never never do it)
So, we found a nice guy, specializing in restoring old funiture and while he was working on the wooden case of the radio, we found the story of its manufacturer.
The one we own is an E412, made in Pennsylvania in 1935,where the Atwater Kent factory -the bigest in the world at that time-was producing 1 million radios a year. The E series were made especially for export to Europe.
What is wonderful, apart from the magical veins of the wood, is that the old thing is still working!! It has Short, Medium and Long waves, however we don't use it .We love to just watch standing there being pretty :)
