I found it at a thrift store today for $1.00!
It's in great shape, but missing the battery cover, unfortuately. But it does work beautifully, which was a nice surprise.

Anyway.. I know nothing about radios other than they play music. I don't even know if this is vintage, although it does look like it is. But it may have just been made to look retro - I don't know. I'd love to find out more about it, but can't seem to find ANYTHING online. Not even a picture of a similar radio. Can anyone help?

On the back, it just says Innovage Classic, with some numbers.

Thanks!

Looks like a recently manufactured radio, made to look older than it is.

Perhaps a 1960's "look" but was actually built quite recently. I recall having seen similar looking radios several years ago, possibly designed to be sold in connection with something that was featured in a cartoon or movie.

Yep, Modern retro. AM goes to 1700 kHz. Cute but not worth much.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm not really concerned about the worth or anything - I bought it just because I think it's adorable and it's even more adorable in my kitchen. :)
I just wanted to know more about it, since I can't find ANYTHING online - pictures, nothing. It's bizarre.
I figured that here might be the best place to start, since you guys seem to know so much about radios. :)

Anyway, thanks again!

I know that Innovage is the name of a modern company that makes -- or marketed -- $10 digital key chain cameras.

Maybe they market other electronics also.

Congratulations on your $1 find.

Knockoff radio.

What the man said; but regardless, a decorator piece that functions for a buck...Nice haul!
