I
just got one of the coolest surprise gifts ever! A little
background: my husband is a radio and electronic enthusiast. He
loves them as much as I love sewing.
This
vintage Buttons 'n Bows thread cabinet AM/FM tube radio was made December 23, 1965
by the Guild Radio & Television Company in California. It's in perfect condition and sounds fabulous. Decorated
with spools, buttons, tape measure, scissors and pincushion, the
knobs are little spools and thimbles. It is adorable!
Last
year he bought a Guild Spice Chest AM kitchen radio. They
manufactured several novelty radios disguised as other objects:
lantern, old fashioned wall telephone, treasure chest, hurdy-gurdy,
and more. Some are common, others more rare. He had been looking
for this one for a while.
Don't
you just love presents with a personal touch? I've been a little
under the weather and this one made my day!
Hope y'all have a merry Christmas!
