This radio was offered in two colors white and brown. 1938 was a year that the economy slowed again. Emerson made two versions of this radio. The early type the cabinet was all Plaskon. The removable back was Plaskon on the early versioin. This was soon droped and was replaced by a cardboard back to cut cost. The all Plaskon version is harder to find.
