The Pepsi bottle tube
radio was made during the 1940's and the earliest versions were first
available around 1940. It's 24" tall, made of Bakelite, featuring the
"All American Five" tube line-up". The cap serves as the
station dial and tuning knob. Volume control on/off switch is at the
bottom right side, speaker faces down from the inside bottom. You can
distinguish the early and late versions by the tubes used, the late
versions used miniature tubes, the early versions had octal based
tubes.
The decals are made of thin wall vinyl
with a self adhesive backing and quite easy to apply. The original
Pepsi color plates and art work was acquired from the Pepsi Cola
company and with their permission, authentically reproduced. Silk
screened onto the thin wall vinyl for long lasting and durable
results. When done they look brand new, however you may stain or
distress them to look aged if you prefer.
Note: The small decal for the cap only
covers the top, flat circular portion of the cap, if used the sides of
the cap may be painted to match the colors if desired or used. The
picture shown does not have the cap decal applied. Most do not use
this decal.
All I have left are a few
of the large bottom labels.
