VINTAGE TABLE MODEL RADIOS

“MUSIC TO MY EYES” by Dennis Barker

The early history of radio is the history of technology that produced radio instruments that use radio waves. Within the timeline of radio, many people contributed theory and inven-tions in what became radio…… Wikipedia Blah, blah, blah. Who really cares, as long as when you turn the knob, out come your tunes. Anyone with a third grade education in antiques knows, that just like other toys, what’s really important, is the box it came in, and, when you talk about classic radios, the box is those fabulous table radio cases that reflected and some-times dictated style during the radio heyday’s from the early 1930’s into the 1950’s. Even the depression of the 1930’s couldn’t dampen America’s romance with the radio. At a time when it was a struggle to put a roof over their heads, and with the average radio costing $47.00 (prices dropped during the depression, the average cost of a radio in 1929 was $129.00), people found that a radio purchased on install-ments (71% of all radios purchased in the 1930’s were bought on installment pay-ments), still provided inexpensive entertainment. The floor model and console radios popular in the 1920’s, often made in elegant styles like the “tombstone & cathedral”, began giving way to smaller portable table models, which were less ex-pensive to manufacture, and could be sold for less. Still dominated by wooden cases, manufactures began offering designs rooted in the 1920’s deco movement, along with endless variety, more traditional models, many with geometric cutouts and striking 2-tone finishes. The Great Depression would also have a profound influence on American tastes and, the 1933 Worlds Fair would provide the catalyst for new styles, and table top radios with Deco, Streamline and Moderne design elements began to appear. Simplified straight lines and basic aerodynamic curves began overtaking compli-cated design elements. The earlier “tombstones” were replaced by sleek geometric skyscraper designs, and more table top radios began to appear with metal and ba-kelite cases, which proved more cost effective than wood, and allowed more flexi-bility in shape and design.

While a few of the biggest radio manufactures such as Zenith, Crosley & Emerson would continue making mostly traditional wooden cased table radios throughout much of the 1930’s, new makers like the unsurpassed “FADA”, along with many established radio company’s would jump headfirst into the newest materials and design trends. Countless new radios in Deco and Moderne designs began appear-ing, both in plain and painted bakelite cases, and the bright colored catalin favored by “FADA” and others.

By the late l930’s and early 40’s, virtually every radio manufacturer was making stylish table radio’s in ever evolving streamline designs. By the early 1950’s, Zenith had recaptured it’s prominence in radio design, with an endless series of contem-porary plastic cased radios. The parlor tables and night stands in American homes had never, and may never again looked better.

Today, deco and modern style table radios are highly prized by collectors.

Note: A lot of people are confused with the terms “Bakelite” and “Catalin”. Both are trade names, for phenolic resin. Bakelite is a molded phenolic, usually found in natural brown, or painted. Catalin is a cast phenolic, found most often in bright marbled butterscotch, red and other colors (15 colors are known to have been made)

JUST FOR THE

RECORD by Dennis Barker

To listen the song, and see the live performance, visit our website at: http://newcenturycollector.com/records

Dion (Dimucci): Abraham, Martin & John

Goldmine record album price guide values original copies of Abraham, Martin &

John, with original cover & sleeve, in near mint condition, at $12.00

I was never a great fan of Dion, who along with his back band the Belmont’s, reeled off a string of 1950’s pop tunes, the likes of “Runaround Sue, Teenager in Love and The Wander”. My biggest fascination was probably the twist of fate and lack of $36.00, which put the more talented Buddy Holly in Dion’s airplane seat on that fateful flight chronicled in Don McLean’s American Pie. It would be years later, when as a solo act, his career in rapid decent, Dion Dimucci would become part of my musical pantheon. I just looked around and he's gone….. We had barely risen from the floor. The April 1968 murder of civil rights icon Martin Luther King, had left a stunned and deeply divided America gasping for breath, and on it’s heals, the senseless assassination of Bobby Kennedy seemingly crushed the sanguine spirit of America’s youth, leaving an eternal blemish on our hearts and souls. No song of the late 60’s better captured the sense of America’s loss than Dion’s extraordinary recording of Abraham, Martin & John. The stars were aligned. In 1968, appearing to be at the end of his career, Dion who had finally gotten his drug problems under control, took one more shot at a new recording contract with Laurie records, his old label from the Belmont’s days. The label agreed to give Dion a contract, pursuant to his agreement to record a Dick Holler song they had. Holler, who’s previous claim to fame had been a co-writing credit on the inane Snoopy vs. the Red Baron, had penned a song about the Kennedy & Martin Luther King assassinations. Abraham, Martin & John, would become the crown jewel of Dion’s career. The ballad, with its poignant content, recorded in folk rock style, using oboe, violin and harp instru-mentation under Dion’s classical guitar, was unlike anything he had done before. Abraham, Martin & John would encapsulate the nations grief, and articulate our feelings about the Kennedy-King tragedies. The record would reach #4 on the American charts, and #1 in Canada, revitalizing Dion’s career. Although Dion would go on to record several singer/songwriter albums, he would never duplicate his earlier success. In 2002, Dion Dimucci was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, for Runaround Sue. Humm…. Who’da thunk it.

November 2010 •


The one thing that never changes, is of course, change itself. When most of us think about spending a little time in search of a new trinket for our collections, we usually create a mental picture of spending our day exploring traditional antiques shops, filled with wonderful, old, some-times mysterious objects, lovingly liberated from some musty attic, barn or basement. The other thing about change, is that the more things change, the more they remain the same. Although antiques shops have undoubtedly taken a hit in the current economy, interest in collecting remains a high as ever, and the marketplace still bustles. But, all things change, and as the remnants of the 19th century languish on shelves', and many dealers la-ment the lack of new young customers, “hip” 20 & 30 something’s are flocking to shops filled with an eclectic assortment of antiques, retro, dé-cor, used and sometimes just plain fun and frivolous goodies. Now & Again, at 501 E. 3rd South, is just that kind of place. Owner Michael Sanders has created a store that’s speaks the language of his customers. Filled to the brim with cleverly displayed merchandise, Now & Again embraces midcentury modern, mod 70’s, contemporary chic, kitsch and antiques all as if they were all from the same litter. The shop is a feast for the eyes, and easy on the pocketbook of it’s customers. Walking through Now & Again, you can’t help but be intrigued as your eyes are pulled from one display to the next. An antique chest living next to a pair of midcentury chairs, stacked on a coffee table of recent vintage. Old and new kitchen gadgetry and appliances are presented next to glassware with genealogies ranging from grandma to last years Big Lots specials. Shelves are filled with used florist pottery, alongside old McCoy and Roseville, and jewelry of all descriptions add a little glitz to vintage hats, ties & clothing, all expertly clustered with more knick knacks than you even thought existed. You get the idea. And, best of all, everything is at the right price. It’s not just the extra green we can keep in our wallets that make resale shops like Now & Again so appealing to its younger patrons. Reusing things, that at one time would have been discarded, fits with the fashion-able “greener” lifestyle which is the current vogue. Who could fault the notion that we can save the world and save a buck at the same time. Who knows if the current “green” trend will continue. I suspect that it will. If you’re a collector, it’s a great idea to add a few shops like Now & Again to your list of favorite stops. You’ll be surprised at what you can find, and what a good buy it can be. If “green” is your thing, and you’re currently shopping the resale scene, you ought to spend a little time in some of the more traditional “antiques” shops. You’ll be surprised. Much of the merchandise in these stores is similar and comparably priced to resale shops, except older. You’ll find that Antiques dealers are among the “greenest” businesses around.

Have you ever wondered just what the heck your antiques dealer was talking about? Well, this dictionary of antiquesterms will help you turn that gibberish into useful information. We started right where you would guess, with A, and each

issue we will go on to the next letter. To save you time, and us space, we will be editing out the more arcane entries (don’t worry,even your dealer doesn’t know what they mean). Before long, you’ll be understanding all that antiques shop jargon, and be talking like a pro.

This month we’ll check out those “S” words

Sadler & Green: Partners in a Liverpool business that specialized in thedecoration of pottery. John Sadler may have been the first to use transfer printingas a means of decorating ceramics. Many Staffordshire potters (includingWedgwood) sent large quantities of earthenware to Sadler & Green to bedecorated.

Sad Ware: Flat articles of pewter.

Salt Cellar: Small salts, usually bowl-shaped (though box-shaped exampleswith hinged lids are to be found), remained solid till mid-Georgian times, whenpierced work, and glass liners, came into flavor.

Salt-glaze: Glaze for stoneware. Salt is thrown into the kiln when the maximumtemperature is reached and the great heat reduces the salt to its componentparts, one of which, sodium, combines with silica in the ware to form a thinskin or glaze.

Saltire: Stretchers-of tables and chairs which cross in X-form, usually with afinial at the crossing.

Sand-box: Pot, usually of silver or pewter, with perforated lid and containingfine sand for drying ink.

Scagliola (Italian): A composition composed of ground plaster of paris mixedwith a solution of glue and colored to imitate marble. Slabs of scagliola wereimported into England in the eighteenth century for use as tops of tables andcommodes.

Screw-barrel Pistol: The barrel screws on to a short breech chamber and isunscrewed for loading. Invented about 1635.

Screws: Metal screws for furniture were first used in England towards the endof the seventeenth century. They had a slotted head and the thread was hand-filed. Screws were first produced on a lathe about 1760. The modern machine-made pointed screw came into use in the middle of the nineteenth century.

Scriptor: See Scrutoire.

Scrutoire: Form of French escritoire or writing cabinet. The term was used inthe late seventeenth century for the forerunner of the bureau writing cabinetthat came in at the end of the century. A ‘scriptor’ is the same thing.

Serpentine Front: An undulating front in which the centre is usually convexand the two ends concave. In the case of furniture dating from the middle yearsof the eighteenth century this shaping was used to display advantageously thefigure of veneers. A serpentine-shaping was also freely used for the friezes oftables and rails of seat furniture.

Settee: The term seems to have been first used in England in the early years ofthe eighteenth century, the word probably being a diminutive of ‘settle’ (seenext entry). Many kinds of seat have been described as settees so that the onlysafe definition is ‘a seat with back and arms for two or more persons’.

Settle: A long seat (accommodating two or more persons), having a back andarms and an enclosed base; the seat is usually a lid. The settle evolved from thechest, which is what early examples are-plus back and arms.

Sevres: This French porcelain factory founded at Vincennes in 1738 by M. Orryde Fulvi with the help of two workmen from Chantilly. Soft-paste porcelainwas made until 1769, when a hard paste was introduced, the two being madeconcurrently, the hard paste slowly ousting the soft. The famous biscuitporcelain, so suitable for figures and statuettes, was introduced as early as 1751.

Sgraffiato or Sgraffito (Italian =scratched): Pottery decoration sometimes usedwhen the slip and the body are of contrasting colors, the design being incisedthrough the slip to reveal the body color.

Thats a start on the “S” words. Tune innext month and we’ll try to finish them up

Shagreen: A term used for (1) the skin of sharks-and other fish-prepared as acovering for boxes, knife-cases, etc., and (2) unstained leather in which agranular surface was obtained by pressing seeds into the material while softand flexible, this leather when dyed and dried also being used for box and casecoverings.

Shaker Furniture: The term is used loosely to indicate early American cottagefurniture, some of which, no doubt, was made by ‘Shakers’ (members of areligious sect).

Sham-dram: Cheap drinking glass with deceptive bowl that holds less than apublican’s measure of Scotch today; humble relation of the toast-master glass,made for the use of the tavern-keeper.

Shearer, Thomas: Cabinet-maker and designer, a contemporary of Hepplewhiteand Sheraton, to whom is often given the credit for first producing what wetoday think of as the modern sideboard. His designs first appeared in 1788 inThe Cabinet Maker’s London Book of Prices, which was really a trade catalogue,and were re-issued in the same year as Designs for Household Furniture.

Sheffield Plate: Wares made of copper plated with silver, the sheets of copperbeing sandwiched by rolling between films of silver. The process was inventedby Thomas Bolsover, a Sheffield cutler, in about 1742, but he seems to havemade little but buttons with his new ware. The first domestic items, such ascoffee pots and candlesticks, were made in the middle 1750’s. Matthew Boulton,the Birmingham manufacturer who made the finest English ormolu, was thefirst to exploit the new process in a big way; he set up a factory for this purposein 1762. The mid-nineteenth-century invention of electro-plating supersededthe making of Sheffield plate.

Shipping Goods: Trade term applied to articles, usually late Victorian orEdwardian, bought in bulk by wholesale buyers from overseas. A superior classof shipping trade is that between British dealers and buyers from the antiquesdepartments of large overseas stores who seek ‘furnishing antiques’.

Shirvan Rugs: Caucasian, Ghiordiz knot, loose texture and coarse weave. Theivory ground is favoured with geometrical designs-medallions, diamonds, stars-in red, blue, green and brown. Three to five stripe border.

Shoe-piece: Until about 1700 the splat of a chair back was not connected withthe seat. But for most of the eighteenth century the splat did come down to theseat and the shaped projection into which the splat bedded was termed a ‘shoe-piece’.

Sideboard: The sideboard proper, as distinct from the dining room side-table,dates from the early years of George III’s reign. At first detached pedestals,supporting urns flanked the side-table; a little later the pedestals becameconnected with the board and drawers were fitted to the frieze. During theRegency period the pedestal type returned to fashion.

Silesian Glass: Glass made in Silesia; rivaled the products of Bohemia,particularly in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and is noted for theengraved glass made during the eighteenth century.

Sivas Rugs: Rare type of Asia Minor rug from the city of Sivas; noted for whitefield with red medallion and blue, white, green and yellow floral corners; notvery bright; fine cotton for both warp and weft is unusual feature.
