This Emerson Radio, model 558 is from the 1940s. A cream colored plastic case that has a handle for easy traveling or carrying hold the radio. There is a little handle strap and brass closure.
A radio expert says "This pre-transistor portable would fit in a big coat pocket, but certainly not in your shirt. It was made in 1948 and it features a wonderfully compact internal design. The case flips open when you release a thin brass catch. Like other fliptops of this vintage, opening the top automatically turns the radio on."

the bottom opens up where you can see all the body parts of this tiny little machine
