Detrola
One of the larger manufacturers that, like Belmont, produced far more radios for other brands than those bearing their own name. If you are familiar with Truetone or Silvertone (by Sears) you have probably seen Detrola-built models. Detrola radios are a collector favorite and were well designed with appeal for every buyer type, from the ultra small Pee Wee models to large center dial fans to their fairly exotic "Egyptian" models built for Silvertone, Truetone and themselves. There are a couple of Detroit collectors that are so well versed with the brand they could literally write books on the company. You can find info online easily.

The
"Archives" are maintained just for fun by Steve Adams at the Radio
Attic. When cabinet material or color differences are apparent or suspected in donated photos, I have included additional photos of certain model numbers. Due to time constraints, I must rely entirely on the accuracy of information supplied by contributors with their photographs. As such, no guarantee is made that the model numbers presented here are correct. Images may be used
