Featured Refinements: Catalin RadioBrand: Motorola
Original Description:
The Motorola 50-XC2 “Circle-Grille” is one of the rarest of Catalin radios.  And the green with yellow trim model is the rarest of the Circle-Grilles.  The Art Deco design of this radio puts it among the most desired models for collectors.The large, circular speaker with the yellow catalin bezel is where the radio gets its moniker.  The scalloped handle and hexagonal knobs are beautifully detailed.  The dial is one of the best in vintage radi...os and has a Deco letter “M” cast into the red pointer.  The green with yellow Catalin cabinet is a study in Deco elegance.  The Circle-Grille was made in 1940 which was late in the Catalin period. Like everything else, consumer production of radios virtually ceased during WWII and after the War, very little Catalin production returned.  So there are very few Circle-Grilles out there.  And green ones are profoundly rare.This “Circle-Grille” is all original including the original back.  There are no cracks or hairlines.  It was restored years ago by one of the best vintage restoration techs and he tapped in a line so you can plug in any device with a headphone jack and listen to it through the radio.  It works!  It is ready to become the focal point of a collection.I will only ship with full insurance, and since ebay does not offer a way to include insurance in shipping estimates, please wait for a final invoice from me before paying.
