Philco Corporation ca. 1948 Model 48-460 115V 30W AC/DC AM “Hippo” Table Radio 

We have for you this ca. 1948’s brown plastic (no Bakelite or Catalin) model 48-460 115V 30W AC/DC AM table radio (affectionately known as the “Hippo”) that was manufactured by Philco Corporation/Philadelphia Storage Battery Co. of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

This is marked “Code 121”, it has 6 tubes and 6 AM circuits. The dial lights up and we were able to pick up stations on this radio very clearly. There is no back cardboard on this which can easily be remedied.  

This piece is in very good all original condition with no breaks, restorations, repairs, or touch-ups. This piece shows the usual patina, fading, dust, chips, scuffs, surface rust, scratches, missing accessories, and wear that are to be expected from age and play. This is approximately 12″ L x 7” W x 8” H.  We invite you to view the photos to further determine quality and condition.
