2 VINTAGE 1997 SPARTON BLUEBIRD RADIO VERSIONS THOMAS & CROSLEY

PARKER PICKERS - EACH ONE IS $399. I have 2 for sale that took me over 3 years to find!! One is the Crosley Collector Edition CR37 with the Crosley name over top of the dials and the other is the Thomas Museum Series Model TPC - 109 AM/FM Cassette Blue Mirror Radio to which I have the original box. One of the most unique and beautiful radios is the Sparton Bluebird. It was originally produced in 1936 during the time of other great Art Deco designs. Original Bluebirds normally sell for about $2,500us to $5,000us depending on the condition. In the late 1990’s, the Thomas & Crosley companies sold reproductions of the Sparton Bluebird (obviously manufactured by the same company). The major difference was they used 16-inch mirrors, instead of the approximately 14-inch mirrors used on the original. They also used chrome feet instead of black, and the dial was not like the original Bluebird, among other variances. However, the beauty of the design was all there. In fact, despite the differences between the real and reproduction, the reproduction radio is as beautiful to view as the original.
