Admiral 5K1 Tube Radio Bakelite Art Deco AM 1940s USA
Admiral model 5K1 vintage tube radio, maker marked and Made in USA, dating to the late 1940s post-war era. This classic Bakelite tabletop set features a sleek black cabinet, horizontal grille, and a striking square dial labeled “Standard Broadcast.” The original chassis (Serial No. 5K1 58673) retains its tube complement and internal layout diagram, showcasing the reliable 5-tube superheterodyne design typical of the period.
A quintessential example of early American home radios, this piece combines iconic styling with practical function. Fully operational with clear sound, it remains an excellent display piece or daily-use vintage radio. Its authentic construction and strong visual appeal make it a desirable addition for collectors of mid-century electronics.
