Philco Model 52C Table Model Radio (1932)
The Philco 52C was introduced in
June of 1932, along with the model
52B Baby Grand. It represented a
departure in styling from the
traditional cathedral models that
Philco had offered to date. Despite
appearing in a number of 1932
newspaper advertisements, this
model was not a big seller for Philco,
as according to philcoradio.com only
6200 were sold.
The cabinet is in Black Walnut with
an inlaid stripe around the perimeter.
The grille cloth in the photograph (as
found) is not original. The radio
originally sold for $39.50.
