Sears Silvertone AM/FM Table Radio

Industrial and commercial design was at it’s most unusual in the period after World War II. Growing up in the 50′s, I saw the odd shaped buildings, decorations, cars and consumer goods.

This Hall of Strange features a Sears Silvertone Model 8014 solid state AM/FM table radio from the late 1950′s early 1960′s. The shape is…well…weird. It is a flat rectangle, which houses the radio’s components, and a larger rectangle in which hides the speaker. This is a beige color, but it was also available in pink.
