Trophy Bowling Ball Radio |

| Trophy made two
versions of this radio just before WW-II.. The one shown here was
meant to look like a bowling ball. It is about the right size and
color (black Bakelite), and the three finger holes are there. The
other version was an oversized baseball, with a cardboard cover over the
Bakelite shell.
The base is painted Bakelite with brass trim, on which the recipient's name could be engraved. It was, after all, meant to be a trophy. The bowling ball version is considerably rarer than the baseball, but is less desirable (and less valuable) due to the generally greater collector interest in baseball. |
