Product Description

Radios of all types, styles, and ages can be found in most every antique store or flea market. There are now thousands of diehard collectors searching for these beautiful and often colorful radios. Radios are part of our memories and bring nostalgia into our modern day. John Slusser, collector, full-time radio dealer, and well-known figure in the radio field, along with the staff of Radio Daze, have compiled this updated and expanded sixth edition of our popular series. Filling the need for an easy-to-use, complete guide to these collectibles, Collector's Guide to Antique Radios, Sixth Edition, gives descriptions and current values for approximately 10,000 models of antique radios with over 600 full-color photographs. Most other guides just list radios by model number -- our guide gives complete descriptions of every radio along with selected full-color photos and information about the radio manufacturers. The informative text provides explanations for the many confusing terms and abbreviations used in the radio field. Listed alphabetically by company, the radios are accompanied by current collector values. The book is devoted to the golden age of radios, the 1920s through the 1950s. Although the majority of these radios have long since vanished, many still remain as living examples of the quality and charm of products from this period.

Collector's Guide to Antique Radios
Collector's Guide to Antique Radios: Identifcation and Values (Collector's Guide to Antique Radios)
This book is a valuable reference for me as I look for bargains in antique radios.

Pretty decent guide
I really enjoyed the book and have taken it along on radio hunting trips. It gives you a place to start but there are a surprising number of radios that are not in the book. Still, it has provided me a good basis for valuation and a real education of the universe of antique radios. Thanks.

Perfect for identifying the radios and their values.
Collectors who enjoy antique radios and specialty libraries catering to specialty collectors will have to have the updated 7th edition to Collector's Guide to Antique Radios by John Slusser: it packs in color photos of each antique to accompany the very latest values, organizes chapters by makers for quick and easy consultation, and includes plenty of reference material perfect for identifying the radios and their values.
