Philco PT-2 (left) and PT-4 (right) Bakelite Table Radios (1941)
A pair of table-top Philcos, introduced in January of 1941 and aimed at the burgeoning market for second
and third sets in the home, or better still "a radio in every room". The one on the left is unpainted walnut-
colored bakelite and the one on the right is ivory painted bakelite. I re-painted the ivory one (using a close
match to the original) as the original paint was badly scuffed and chipped; it is missing the Philco Transi-
tone emblem from the lower front in the same place as seen on the set on the left. The PT-2 originally listed
at $13.95 and the PT-4 at $14.95.
