Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for. Some historical perspective on the times. It's interesting. I have always, since I was a teenager, been interested in the 1930's. Movies and especially the machinery. Cars (I used to own a 1939 Oldsmobile), aircraft, ships etc. etc. One of my favorite documentaries of all time was one I saw about the 1939 world's fair. It had a lot of original footage. Another favorite of mine is Jean Shepherd, an author who grew up in Hammond Indiana in the 30's and wrote many hilarious stories about that time. The movie "Christmas Story" about the kid wanting a Red Ryder BB rifle is based on several of his stories. I sometimes think that perhaps in a previous life I must have been hanging around at that time. I guess it was inevitable that at some point I'd start collecting 1930's radios.
