1938 Majestic Model 1
The 1930s was radios golden age as we look back now. The movies were your main visual entertainment and radio was your hearing entertainment. Edgar Bergen and his side kick dummy was one of the most popular radio comedy shows on the air at this time. Majestic came out in 1938 with a small inexpensive radio with Charlie McCarthy molded figure applied to the case. In the one picture above notice this was a one tube radio! This is the reason for it being the model 1. It was a standard broadcast radio and used a external wire antenna.
