For Sale is an early 1940's all Plaskon 5 tube Addison model 2 radio know as the "Baby Addison". This model was manufactured in Canada in Catalin, Plaskon and any # of combinations of the two plastics. This original Plaskon cabinet is a highly marbled Olive color, with dark and light brown swirls, that I've heard referred to as a peanut butter color. I've also heard this was an "end of day" color.
I believe it is unusual and just one of the 30+ color combinations Addison produced. The original Plaskon waterfall trim and bumpers are a slightly darker swirled olive color. The original cabinet and trim are damage-free; no chips, cracks, hairlines or tube burns.
The cabinet, trim and knobs have a lovely, shiny patina. The original dial face perfectly matches the cabinet color and is in great condition.
The original dial lens is still clears and in great shape. The pinwheel knobs are a dark maroon in great condition. Cord appears to be original. Original paper label on bottom. The item "Vintage all Plaskon Baby Addison radio.
