Babe Ruth Bust Vacuum Tube Radio.
Lot 47. Babe Ruth Bust Vacuum Tube Radio. This magnificent collectible consists of a beautifully restored original 1930s Bosch radio with reproduction baseball finials and a bust of Ruth added. Made of hard resin, they are exact reproductions of the originals used in the radios by Abbotwares. One ball reads “One Season 60 Home Runs,” while the other says “Lifetime 714 Home Runs.” Inside the restored radio, not a transistor or microchip is in sight. It uses vacuum tubes and other technology from the first half of the 20th century to pull in radio stations from near and far. Outside, the mahogany cabinet is impressively restored with a lacquered finish typical of many fine pianos. Great Ruth display.
Winning Bid $424.
