JEFFREY OCONNOR OF KEARNY, NEW JERSEY WON THIS LOT IN OUR DEC. 2 AUCTION, PAID, THEN DID A CHARGE BACK BECAUSE HE CHANGED HIS MIND ABOUT DRIVING TO PICK THIS LOT UP. THAT IS WHY IT IS RELISTED IN THIS AUCTION. A collection of approximately nine vintage wooden console radio and radio-phonograph combination units, dating predominantly from the late 1920s to the 1930s. The units display a mix of traditional and Art Deco styles, constructed primarily from various wood veneers, likely walnut or mahogany, with prominent grain patterns. They feature metal hardware, fabric speaker grilles (some with ornate fretwork), and often include illuminated or brass-toned radio dials. Visible brand names include Philco, Sparton (with Model No. 561 identified on one unit), Kellogg, and Atwater Kent. One phonograph unit displays an "Okeh Record" label with song titles "Oh You Have No Idea" and "Don't You Talk About My Man." The apparent condition across the collection is consistent with unrestored vintage electronics. All units exhibit significant dust, surface scratches, and wear to the finish and veneers. Some localized damage is present, including torn speaker fabric on at least one unit and potentially incomplete record player mechanisms. Internal components such as vacuum tubes and speakers appear largely present in the units where visible. The operational status of any unit is untested and unknown. Burns in-house shipping is available. Pick up is Friday, Jan. 30 from Noon to 7 pm at our gallery in Lancaster, Ohio 43130 or we will provide in-house shipping for this item. We will charge a $5 fee if you want to pick this lot up another day. Once packed up we will send you an invoice for shipping & handling. Shipping questions: shipping@burnsbid.com.
