1937 radio looks like yellow cake with chocolate frosting
That radio was made of Catalin, which was an early form of plastics... was a much better quality, and a better look. Many radios and clocks were made from it back in the 30's.

Is that AI? Asked to make it look like a 1970s/80s snap shot?
The girl's fingers look AI-ish. Yeah, took me a while to get there.

Those fingers are weird as shite. Not sure how they're holding those cups either.

Basically the same product...

So while Bakelite was used for items like insulators for electrical systems or handles on Deco-era toasters, for instance, Catalin was used for manufacturing varied jewelry, colorful radios, and other consumer goods widely collected today. Even so, the majority of these objects are described as Bakelite now. You may occasionally see sellers use both terms when marketing plastics of this nature as well.

Models from the 1940s
It seems like the models in that era had a snob look about them.

I've read that he embraced the role and when the kids saw him in public he happily became The Skipper.
