Sparton model 557 radio designed by Walter Dorwin Teague for the Sparks-Worthington Company in Jackson, Michigan during 1936. The radio, known as the "sled" or "3-knob" is considered to be one of the best examples of Deco Streamline style. The radio features cobalt blue mirrors on the front, top, and left side, with contrasting ebony lacquer finish and five chrome bands or "speed lines." The asymmetric, geometric shapes and accent designs are distinctively Art Deco in appearance.
This is a prime example of a highly sought after Art Deco radio that is matched by no other manufacturer in its flair and presence. Chassis still retains original parts of the manufacturer's paper tag affixed to the back.
