I would like a serving platter myself! That is great that you got one! Apparently, Blue Heaven was created in the late 50s to the early 60s so it is really an atomic collection!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-11429247561794217052011-01-12T11:53:14.698-08:002011-01-12T11:53:14.698-08:00Love your bangles - Im always hunting for a reason...Love your bangles - Im always hunting for a reasonably priced carved number....still looking!

I just love turning it on and hearing that delay before any sound comes out! The tubes need to warm up. <br /><br />When I saw the Hilary Swank "Amelia" movie I was annoyed when she turns on the radio to dance with George (Richard Gere) and the sound of music is instantaneous! <br /><br />Anyway, I love my 40s radio! It makes such a great display and working piece of history for my kitchen!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-11545738792664090852011-01-11T11:41:03.271-08:002011-01-11T11:41:03.271-08:00wow you lucky thing, I really like that radio and ...wow you lucky thing, I really like that radio and I would have it too whether I could get anything out of it or not!Straight Talking Mama!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13010105224878943505noreply@blogger.com
