We had the Slo-Cooker Plus as shown. I would sometimes cook hot dogs on the lower part. Also had the Party Perk, except in Avocado.
I had a later version of the Zenith clock radio, mine had L.E.D. display and a straight line radio tuner. I used it for many years. No other clock radio sounded as good back then. Replaced it with a 2 piece Nachimichi stereo clock radio, later with a Proton, each was a step up in sound quality.

I've got the non-clock version of that Zenith radio with the "circle of sound" bottom speaker.
It's up on a shelf in my garage so I can enjoy my favorite classic rock on WMGK 102.9 FM.
Sparton 1952
Wonder when Sparton left the TV market? They were a fairly big player in radios but I never saw or even heard of their TVs.
Our neighbors had a Sparton console TV much like the one in the ad.

Looks like they started moving out of TV/Radio in 1956 in favor of their defense business (making sonobuoys)
It looks nice. I suppose the Cosmic Eye was an automatic brightness control.
Not to hijack the thread, but here are some beautiful Deco/Moderne Sparton radios from the Thirties.
The first one has a cloisonné front; the next two are called the Bluebird model and have mirrored glass. Unfortunately they sell for thousands now, and they're just AM radios!

Indeed, they are eye-catching designs, and so is the "Sled" model in cobalt blue glass.
But your right, they are simple AM radios.
It's all about superficiality, looks.. which humans are known for.
