Comments:

Manufactured in the early 1950's by Montgomery Ward as one of their Christmas promotions. The Rudolph is diminutive in size, measuring only 7.25"x6"x5". Over the years, the Rudolph, Long Ranger, Charlie McCarthy and Flower radios have become very collectable novelties in the vintage radio market. The beetle version is particularly rare and very desirable.
