Sparton Nocturne

The Sparton Nocturne is one of the most coveted radios among collectors. Not the most powerful radio but no slouch in that department either, the Nocturne is Art Deco at the highest level. Designed by Walter Dorwin Teague, it was called "the ultimate icon of modernity, one dramatically ahead of it's time" by Alastair Duncan in his 1998 book entitled Modernism.

Sparton advertised the set as "A vision in Midnight Blue Crystal Mirror Glass and Satin Chrome." I don't think I could add anything more in describing this set. It is truly an awesome beauty.
