Default HARMONY transistor radio 1964

My late mother was shopping in the Wimbledon Chase Co-Op. It would have been around 1964. There was a competition to guess how many tea bags were in a large glass carboy.
Just for fun she made a complete guess and later discovered she had been very close to the actual number and had won the prize of guess what, a transistor radio!
It is one of the first of millions of pocket radios that were imported around this time from Hong Kong. It works quite well, not distorted like so many were.

Looks very much like my set here wearing a Benkson badge from Hong Kong
