[NJARC] Catalin Radio Auction

[Ray Chase]

OK all you catalin radio collectors, here's your chance to scoff up a 
bunch of rare and exciting gems for your collection.  More than 70 
choice models will go on the auction block on the 27th of May from the 
collection of Pierre Lescure.  Only problem is you'll have to hie 
yourself to France as the auction is in Paris.  Also included is a 
Sparton Nocturne blue mirror radio as well as cathedrals, Mickey Mouse, 
Snow White and Tom Thumb radios of the thirties.  A noted US catalin 
collector commented that demand for catalins is not nearly as strong in 
Europe as it is in the US so here's your chance to maybe get some 
bargains.  The auction is at Sotheby's, Paris and catalogs may be 
obtained by calling 33 1 53 05 53 05 or FAX to 33 1 47 42 22 32 or 
e-mail to www.sotheby.com  Good luck,
Ray
PS:  If you cannot make it to Paris, on the 29th there is an auction in 
Lancaster, PA that lists "old radios & tubes".  Contact is Esterline 
Auction Service, 717-872-1948.
