TRANS CONTINENTS - PD35 - RADIO PUBBLICITARIA - ADVERTISING COLLECTOR’S ITEM - EXTREMELY RARE Tube radio

Trans Continents PD35 (1958): a rare vintage jewel!

A rare and fascinating piece, born from a meeting between design and advertising.

This radio, made in 1958 by Trans Continents, was produced as a special promotional edition for the Italian insurance company Riunione Adriatica di Sicurtà.

The contrast between eggplant-colored Bakelite and the ivory front, adorned with a golden grille, creates a refined and irresistibly vintage effect.

An object that tells of an era when even advertising knew how to be elegant, and technology had the charm of a small jewel to display.

Rare, authentic, and full of character — a radio that combines history, style, and collectibility at a glance.
