Now, that's different!
Is your Town Crier tube or solid state?
Very Cool!
What is the year & manufacturer?
I. Can honestly say, I have never seen a radio like that. But it looks cool. I'm amazed back in the day how much though went into making things to make them look like they belong. Console stereos that looked like furniture TV too.
Now a days black, silver just does seem to fit into any decor, unless you live in a space ship.

I've never seen one either but the info for this radio can be found on the RadioMuseum.org web site.

It was made in the mid 50's by Guild Radio & Television Co. of Inglewood (CA).
It an 8 tube superhet AM/FM radio in a wood case that runs on 115 VAC so it's a much better radio than the early All American 5 series. I'd put this into the 50's novelty radio category, but I may be wrong on that.

That's interesting. I didn't know they made a home version of their player.
there are two home version?
I have a Guild Town Crier also. They made all sorts of clever radios and HIFIs in the 1950s... One looked like a wind up gramophone, another like a spice chest, etc. Most had pretty decent sound quality.
