There's not much info on the 'net about the Colonial radio co. All the models I've seen have been of top quality and excellent performers. I can't document this but I was informed long ago that the reason you don't see many of this brand is most of their production went to Sears Roebuck & Co. under the Silvertone brand. I do no that a lot of the Silvertone models were made by this fine company and can be identified by the Sears source no. of 101. Contrary to the belief of some that the Silvertone brand were usually cheap, substandard radios, the Colonial as well most of the better product lines offered by Sears were as good as the main stream brand names. In fact the were all made by the main brand companies such as Colonial, Zenith, Stewart-Warner and other national brand companies. Click here for a copy of this index.
