Philco model 37-1 Antique Radio

This antique radio is a Philco model 37-1.

It, too, is a family heirloom. It belonged to my grandmother and was used by my Dad and his siblings while growing up in Philadelphia. They use to tell me stories about when they were kids listening to "Dick Tracy" or the "Green Hornet" or Superman" on it.

My grandfather would listen to it during WWII days and get the information via short wave radio about his home in Italy. My grandmother was throwing it out back in the 60's and I rescued it from oblivion. I cleaned it up and sent the electronics off to be repaired. It too holds a prominent place in my living room today.
