This vintage Firestone 4-A-91 mantle radio is a perfect addition to any collection. Made in the United States in 1954, it boasts a sleek white heavy plastic exterior that is sure to catch the eye. This model has an AM radio with 5 tubes.

The radio appears cosmetically and structurally sound. The dials and outer surface of the cabinet show age and use with typical scuffs and marks. The radio powers on but wouldn't tune in any stations and produced a buzzing sound. The cord and back cover look really good, as does any labeling.
