Would have kept the budgie warm, not sure how the bird droppings would affect the radio however....

Re: Anyone recognise this Radio
Could the set be an early Derwent as a lot of these sets were sold by the coop
Nice picture of the past though Ken |

The person who posted this has thousands of photos, most of which are taken outdoors on holidays. I've not seen any others with any other radios or TVs yet.

Re: Anyone recognise this Radio
Hi, I think you will find that the Co-op sold Defiant sets as their own brand as other manufactures would not deal with them because they regarded the Co-op dividend as giving a a discount and therefore sell sets below the recommended retail price.

Re: Anyone recognise this Radio
Could it be a Philco or a round-dialed Fergie?

Re: Anyone recognise this Radio
Anyone spotted the candle holder and candle on the fireplace and slipper or shoe bottom left. As Ken in post #4 says, it’s a nice picture of the past.

Re: Anyone recognise this Radio
Is that a candle-holder? It looks to me more like the 'thing' you'd use to twiddle the damper/remove the grate-front for cleaning out the ash-pan on the open fire.

Re: Anyone recognise this Radio?
There appears to be a sconce with a stub of candle on the mantelpiece.
This would suggest that modernising the front parlour with a new fireplace took priority over extending the electric light upstairs! |
