Reply #89 -- those radios are surprisingly expensive.
When transistor radios first came on the scene in the late 50’s they were like when iPods first came out. They were really coveted and therefore very expensive.
Once they became more commonplace in the early 60’s the prices came down pretty quickly. Everyone wanted to have a “transistor” with an earphone so you could listen to it anywhere.
I got my first one in 1961 it had a nice leather case with holes in the case over the speaker so you could leave it in the case while listening to the radio, cut outs for the volume and tuner dials, a strap handle and a little leather pouch for the earphone that snapped onto the handle. I think it was a Toshiba.

Crosley
Until I saw the 1947 Crosley ad above, I was not aware they ever made gas ranges.
I have a friend that lives a few blocks from the Crosley Building on Arlington St. It's still empty, but they're hoping to make it into apartments or condos in the future.
