IRRADIO - PENNY - MILANO 1958 - DESIGN OBJECT - VERY RARE Tube radio

Rarissima Irradio Penny of 1958, elegant valve radio from Italy with reception in medium wave and short wave. Its strength is undoubtedly the front, characterized by a wonderful chromed grille with a geometric design, perfectly matched to the cream-colored cabinet. At the center of the talking scale sits the most distinctive detail: a small female figure singing into a microphone, visible through a kind of little window carved into the chromed structure. An original and very evocative element, which perfectly recalls the famous Irradio slogan: “The voice that enchants”. The talking scale, with numerous international cities and stations, completes a typically Fifties design, rich in details yet elegant and compact at the same time. A model that appears on the market very rarely and deserves attention from collectors. A particular specimen, recognizable at first glance and difficult to find at auction with these characteristics.
