Scarce Vintage Red Airline Transistor Radio No. 62-1130B Montgomery Ward Ship Box
Being relisted -- please read all the description and see and enlarge all photos. This radio is not mint just because it came in the shipping box.
Research shows that this should be a 1962 Radio made in Japan for Montgomery Ward. The same model number came out with an 1130A that was from 1958 which may have been their first model. Not sure.
This is an estate purchase find an...d what's fun is it still has it's original shipping box from Montgomery Ward showing the 'Red' and it's original red carton and it's original leather case with a indented Japan in the upper back corner. Great to have all these things as they make a wonderful display for the radio buff.
It does look used but probably gently due to the estate's 'passed' owner took care of their items, so again, kept the original packing and case. I don't know a lot about these things so will let the new owner have fun with this. Note there is a small dent on the edge of radio. There is a cardboard at the top of the red carton that is stamped "Earphone and instructions behind this filler". As you can see in the photos they are not there.
I carefully opened the back of the radio and took shots of the interior. No battery inside which is good and hopefully you can read and see all the information that will help you with questions regarding the radio as again, I'm not familiar enough with these items.
The radio's red case looks very nice with very few issues. The leather case as well. The carton is great with only minor bumps and shows bright graphics as well as the original shipping box. The tie down is still very much intact for closure.
Please see and enlarge all photos and email with any questions prior to purchase. This is being sold AS-IS. International sales are welcome.
Thanks for looking.
