1939 Combination Radio-Lamp

1939JanPSThis woman appears to have a high level of admiration for her lamp. And the admiration is well deserved, since it’s not just a lamp. Instead, it has a four-tube radio receiver in its base, with the loudspeaker at the top. A single plug-in cord provided power to both the radio and the lamp, and the lamp was available in several color combinations.

It was shown 85 years ago this month in the January 1939 issue of Popular Science.
