Crosley Antique Radios

Crosley Antique Radios started rolling out in 1924 with a great background that had ensured its success. The manufacturing company, Crosley Radio Corporation was established in 1921 by Power Crosley, Jr. as Crosley Manufacturing Corporation. The company used to sell "Harko" brand of receivers and manufactures "Ace" receivers. The continuous success of the company has enabled them to produce their own brand of radios. It was so successful that they were able to make as much as 5000 radios in one day. By 1928, the company was a great success but it has to deal with fiercer competitors. Crosley survived for two more decades before they were purchased by Aviation Corporation in 1956.

The massive production of radios of Crosley during the late 20s and early 30s has made this brand of radio an easy find for most collectors. Their box collection that ranges from Cathedral to Phonograph Box type could be found in antique stores and online are usually in perfect working condition. These products were built during the 20s and 30s and are very delicate but will work as expected when they are placed in normal conditions. The later brands (early 40s and late 50s) are also in the same working condition like its earlier models that requires little to no restoration.
