Stewart-Warner Model 97-57 "Varsity"

Stewart-Warner "Varsity"

Stewart-Warner called this 1938 model 97-57 radio the "Varsity".  To capitalize on the student market, this radio was produced in a wide variety of school colors with the school's letter on the grill.  Most of these had painted Bakelite cases, but the one shown here is in white Plaskon.  The machine-age Art Deco design sets this set apart from the crowd, and it is fairly rare set in any color, which adds to its appeal.
