Air King Skyscraper Radio Model 66 in Lavender - Harold Van Doren
Incredible and rare Lavender Air King ‘Skyscraper’ Model 66 radio with the 'Globe’ insert, a true American Art Deco icon. John Sideli, in his book Classic Plastic Radios of the 30’s and 40’s, called it “one of the most important plastic radios ever made”. This lavender Plaskon Air King Model 66 was designed by Harold Van Doren and John Gordon Rideout for the Air King Products Company of New York in 1933. This early model constructed of Plaskon (an early plastic) has a 'Globe’ insert on its waterfall facade. The fragile nature of the Air King radios has made them extremely rare + desirable.
