A two-band LW/MW coat pocket radio, probably first produced in 1959 shortly after the Taschen-Transistor-Boy 59 and then also in 1960. It has a brass carry handle that extends from one side. There is no tuning dial pointer here: instead, a white plastic ribbon with a red area the right end of which indicates the dial setting. This set has nearly the same name as the popular vertical coat pocket Transistor Boy.
