This vintage Crosley tabletop tube radio is Model E-85GH. It has a black body with a light Chartreuse gr ill. It was built in 1953. This model has the mid century minimalist design and style. Not a scratch or crack anywhere that I can see. There is a small smudge of some kind on the right front side. The copper plate around the clock has some darkening with age but could probably be polished up to look almost new. All knobs are attached. The cord is in very good condition. There is a label on the back (see photos) which gives details. I tried to find the value of it on the web and the only one exactly like it that I found was in a museum valued at $220.00.
