This is an advertising counter store display figural Champagne / wine bottle radio. The radio is called Champagne Music, and was made by the Hazeltine Corporation. The radio is a superheterodyne receiver, model C-500. The label on the bottle is advertising The Christian Brothers Sauterne. This radio is very large, it measures about 2 feet tall and the base is about 8 inches in diameter. The base looks to be a brown bakelite, I think the bottle may be bakelite as well. The cord on the radio is in poor condition and needs to be replaced. I plugged the radio in, it powered up, and it hummed, nothing else. Im not a radio guy and have no Idea what needs to be repaired or replaced to have it fully function. The radio is in decent used shape but does show wear. The labels show staining, yellowing, fading, rubs, nicks, scratches, etc. The bottle and base show scratches, rubbing, finish wear, small nicks, etc. The back side of the upper label shows quite a bit of loss. Im sure with a good cleaning and polishing the colors would pop again. The bottle cap is in the same condition, no major damage to note. The bottom of the base has the information labels for the radio. I believe this to be a tube radio, but Ive not taken anything apart to see. I believe it is complete, but again I do not know for sure. See my other auctions for more cool stuff. Any questions please ask.
