Zenith Model Y724 Tube Portable Radio “Royalty of Radio” c.1953
Mid-century Zenith Model Y724 portable AM/FM tube radio, circa 1953. The piece features Zenith’s signature black textured leatherette case with gold-tone trim and fold-down front panel marked ZENITH. Inside, the cream dial face displays the brand’s royal crest and slogan “The Royalty of Radio,” with twin ivory knobs and a gold mesh speaker grille below. Equipped with Zenith’s five-tube chassis (7ZT40Z) and 49CZ658 speaker, this model captures the blend of craftsmanship and portability that defined Zenith’s postwar design aesthetic.
A fine display example of classic American radio engineering, ideal for collectors or mid-century décor settings.
