New catalog cover

[batterymaker]

I make reproduction batteries for tube and transistor portable radios, and I just have finished next year's cover.

Girl and hand are originally from a 1949 Ginger Ale advertisement. Had a fun time melding those fingers around that B battery.

I'll throw in a few other pages if anyone's interested.

Okay, here we go....

And the last one--I get a lot of traffic for these...

Love the pictures. I have my grandmothers old portable Westinghouse radio she got along with the early 50's Westinghouse front load washer. Would love to see if you make the battey for it. It also used a D battery.

Throw me the model number and I'll look it up. Probably used a 477.

No model number that I can see. Will take a picture of the front and the back insides when my camera gets charged.

Any luck?

Loved your catalog imagry but more importantly I am positive that you are providing a much needed service for old radio collectors. And that's a good thing!

Here's the reason why I do it--

Anything to keep my little one fed and clothed...

Great work! Weren't you also making replica No. 6 dry cells at one time too?

 

[batterymaker]

#6 Covers, but not the batteries. Although I probably can look into it now, as Eveready stopped making them last year.

Have been out of town on businees. Here are pictures of the open back and the front of the radio

I didn't forget you--having trouble with my account, for some reason.

That definitely uses a 467 B Battery--AND I may have the fixings for a vintage Westinghouse battery for it. The 467 is listed in the personal radio page up above.
