Set of radio station dial markers - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I have been sent a set of 11 vintage radio station markers for passing onto someone who would like them, rather than them going in a bin.

I don't anything about them, I suspect they are water transfers? Someone here will know.

Anyway, free of charge and I will run a hat until Saturday 7th October, 10am.

I would like to go into the hat please, I believe that they are printed on “ivorine”, presumably an early plastic as these are definitely pre-war going by the names.
I have a KB set that could use these I hope, although the chances of receiving “Normandie” are remote to say the least….. will at least fill some empty spaces above the buttons.

Many thanks,

Peter

The label "Light" is a post war one. I think the light programme came into us about 1947 as part of the Copenhagen Plan

OK, no other takers so this has now gone to Peter.

Peter, please PM me your address and I will get them in the post to you.

Mods, this thread can be closed thanks.
