A beautiful marbleized green case is complimented with matching colored knobs and grille cloth woven in a herringbone pattern. This early Catalin radio design relates to the earlier wooden Gothic-style radios. The marbleized case contains swirls of yellow, black and green. These Cathedral radios are very rare and desirable among collectors.

The condition of this radio is consistent with age and wear. It has not been tested for working order. The dimensions (height x length x depth) are 10 in x 7 in x 5 in; 25.4 cm x 17.8 cm x 12.7 cm.
