A Rare Deutscher Kleinempfanger 'German People's Set' GW110, with swastika below speaker, components, with back, in dark brown mottled bakelite case

Footnote: Made by several companies, this Siemens model was cheap to produce and was a propaganda tool, permanently tuned to receive Hitler's speeches. Many were brought back home by soldiers after April 1945 to the UK and US as souvenirs. This has the impressed swastika intact to the front - and most of the components inside were also stamped with it.



Sold for £280
Estimated at £150 - £200


 

Bakelite only appears to have very minor scuffs. Untested.
