A very pretty little shirt pocket radio, most likely intended to compete with several contemporary Bulovas of roughly the same size and shininess. One thing that I think scuttles the design here a bit is the goofy ship's anchor thingy on the speaker grille -- the cabinet face would have been better without it.
