I don't know the value but that has to be a pretty early "[b]F[/b]ind [b]M[/b]e" radio. FM stations were pretty rare in the 40's and that radio has to be from the 50's. FM never did catch on until the early 70's. Much do to the actions of RCA which lead to the inventor of FM to kill himself. (a story you can look up)
That radio is from circa. 1951 and it is a rare one. That radio I've seen sell for as much as $250 and as little as $10 so you have a broad price range. Of course, that radio was working and refurbished. I'd start the bidding at $50 and see where it goes from there. Is the plastic good? Cracked plastic on bakelite radios will make or break the sale.
The radio is in very good shape.The plastic is perfect. a friend of my sisters went through it. he replaced a tube or two. It's a neat old radio. Would you put it on ebay? Or somewhere else?Thanks John
By the way I have another old wooden Silvertone catalog#6050 in sears and roebuck can't find the mod# it works also. heres a quick pic.

The bottom one is a old panasonic stereo multiplex that sounds nice.
I'd be so tempted to keep that, lol. Personally, I'm afraid of shipping things like this or glass, so eBay at your own risk, try to sell local first if possible.
Oh, and I got another bicycle in today. It is an AMF Skyrider Deluxe with a working headlight tank and a license sticker from 1974.
Craigslist, pick up only. I just sold a reel to reel that way. Too much hassle to ship.
Yeppurs. I'm also starting to eBay today. Time for them Christmas shoppers to be lurking! The prices are starting to climb too on Christmas decorations. So the Hallmark ornament will be first.
Sold the rotary phone today.
I haven't updated this thread in a couple weeks, but I went to the junkyard two weeks ago, got some parts from the Montego GT and Galaxie 500 front clip. I have to go back and finish stripping the Montego, it is a very rare car that is unrestorable, but a parts gold mine. I plan to pick the gauge cluster package from it, the other GT mirror, floor shifter and hump if I can, and maybe the belt-line trim. I'll see about getting the "GT" emblem off the dash and the steering wheel pad.
I got these for $75 at the junkyard two weeks ago. I will keep the door panel until I get the other three off. Otherwise, finding a buyer will be like a needle in a hay stack. I'll save the cluster panel until after I get the cluster itself. Same deal. The Galaxie 500 parts will end on eBay soon and I can see me making good money. I have LONG parts request list.

In other news, the Bugs Bunny ornament SOLD today, Buy It Now for $15.95. Free listing fees, I paid $1 for it, so I'm still making profit even after feepay gets their cut.
