This is a rare 1937 Stromberg-Carlson 225-H radio.
It’s Art Deco design uses a beautiful combination of veneers. The Brazilian Rosewood on the main body features the quality touch of being grain-matched from the top down to the front. The sides have a maple inlay, sided by oak and walnut. The ebony speaker grille features a wonderful Art Deco tulip motif.
The five-tube, three-band (SB, SW, Police) radio performs well with good sensitivity across the dial.
