Philco Antique Radios
Philco or the Philadelphia Storage Battery Company is a very recognized brand in radio and appliances because of its continued existence until today. The company was established in 1906 as a manufacturer of car batteries. It saw considerable success in the industry but noticed a more lucrative industry
–transistor radios. Philco started manufacturing radios in 1925 with the release of their "Socket-Power" radios. The power source of this type of radio could be installed in a light socket. Eventually, the company extended their products to regular radios as well as car radios.
The brand is well known for their designs especially with their cathedral type radios. The design of this type of radio is well recognized as an antique design for a transistor radio. Philco developed this design for a radio during the 30s and became a very popular. This type of design of Philco has even helped them during the Depression Era. They are also building popular designs in each era
–from the tombstone design to compact radios encased in metal. Most the well known antique radios of Philco are those that were developed during the 30s and 40s especially the Cathedral design. The early edition of socket radio is also a collector’s item.
