Portable Battery Operated Tube Radio

This radio that has been in our family since it waspurchased in the pre-war 1940s.Labeled “Knight”, it is identical to the FADA 33 Series introducedin 1940.

Since Knight radios were madeby other manufacturers including the FADA Radio & Electric Co., I believethis to be the FADA 33 Series made for Knight – Model L33, which was the moreexpensive leather-covered version that sold for $25.00 in 1940 (equal to$438.43 in 2017 dollars).
