Step back into the 1950s

Smashing look back it time Trixie, i remember my older sisters listening to radio Caroline on a little transistor in the 60's, they used to put it next to and electricity plug to get a better reception ha ha.
We used to listen to it under the bed clothes at night, I loved radio caroline, it really was a nostalgic trip out.
Naah, not me; I'm Too Young,,,
Of course you are Larry you wont remember any of these items on display!!!!

My father use to have the similar radio like that one on the left. I think it was French made... He had a speech impediment, was unable to pronounce the "R". I hope I wrote it correctly Otherwise, Trixie is a very nice photo!

Hello thank you for your lovely comments, I have more photos that I took on the day out, all from the 1950s, I think every home had one of these radios, we used to warm the batteries up in the oven...... wonder we never blew ourselves up!!!
lovely "ex oldies", isn't that a Cliff Richard's LP over there, .. captivating soft voice of my teen years, .. lovely compo, Pat, .. thanks
It is a Cliff Richard record, I went to see him perform once with the Shadows do you remember them Nuri? thank you for your kind comments always appreciate them. Best wishes to you Patricia

Lovely capture, Trixie. We in Hungary haven't any of them because then the technical goods were on COCOM list. We had our brands like BRG, ORION, VIDEOTON, UNITRA, etc.
Hi Gábor I think all these brands are extinct now! but a great bit of nostalga,thank you for your lovely comments too. Best wishes Trixie

Did you listen to Caroline North or South? I used to listen to Johnnie Walker every evening on South. Still one of my favourite broadcasters.
