Shut up!

I can't believe you got this beauty! The chairside radios are pretty cool! Manufacturers were so clever and Uber practical years ago. I have an old radio, I'm pretty sure I told you about it and actually everything is in it and the tube is he even still good. For all practical purposes, it works. Sort of. When you turn them over and look in the back there's hardly anything in them they were such a simple design.

Are you sure you didn't steal that cat? It sort of looks like it goes with the radio. I don't have an emotional attachment to mine, but it was a nice little conversation piece in the house I had on the Canadian border. Also known as the upper peninsula of Michigan. LOL mine is in okay shape and I think I paid a dollar? Between you and I, it was so little and it was probably a box lot at an auction. You know, towards the end they just want to get rid of the stuff, and, close it down. I actually think that wherever you put it it will make an amazing addition. You do know that you could have easily put this in #MarketFriday tomorrow. :) This is such an awesome find and I'm glad that it went home with you because you will take good care of it and cherish it. I snapped a quick shot with mine. It's trash compared to the one you got.

You don't have an emotional attachment to your cat? Or to the radio? 😄

These radios were definitely impressive, and built to last. They were considered furniture and were constructed as such. They are indeed mostly empty space on the inside, and we're far to "practical" for that now, but from a purely personal standpoint, that empty space gives me plenty of space to do something with! Maybe I'll turn it into a hidden bookshelf, or a safe, or a bar!

Both. Kidding. I love kitties and radios too, just this one is not the be-all to get-all. But, still, it has its place in my house.

Your radio is a relic from an era gone by. I love how functional they were. Now, it is fun over function. Or something like that. I liked the empty space as well, and I like the bar idea! I need treasures for a safe to be practical. :)

A hidden bookshelf? I likey.
