AWA Fisk 48G

Australian AWA Fisk Radiolette model 48G skyscraper, brown bakelite

The AWA Fisk Radiolette "Skyscraper" has become the definitive icon of vintage bakelite radios around the world.
The beautiful stepped bakelite cabinet, the central pearlized dial, chrome escutcheon,
octagonal knobs and "AWA The Fisk Radiolette" badge all make up an incredible deco design.
From the mid to late '30s, it went through many circuit design changes,
and this is one of the last of the classic 'Empire State' models, the model R48G.
They are a medium size radio, measuring 11" wide, 11" high, 6" deep.
