A 1939 RCA World's Fair commemorative radio! Held in New York City, the 1939 World's Fair was a stunning display of wonder, imagination, and technology ... so stunning, they made a radio out of it ... And, to speak in the vernacular of the peasantry, a real beaut' ... That "vernacular of the peasantry" was, of course, from another 1939 "beaut'" "The Wizard of Oz" ...
