1950s Canadian Crosley F5-RD 5 Tube AM Radio - Working

A fabulous little piece of mid-century design! This vintage Crosley tabletop radio features a striking red cabinet, a distinctive louvred front grille, gold Crosley lettering, and a small decorative crest. Its bold, asymmetrical styling makes it just as appealing as a display piece as it is a functioning radio.

Manufactured in Toronto, Ontario, by Crosley Radio and Television Ltd., this charming Canadian-made radio dates to approximately the 1950s.

Unlike many vintage radios that are sold untested or for display only, this example has been professionally repaired and is in full working condition. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy the warm sound and character of a genuine vintage vacuum-tube radio.
