Philco Model 41-231T "Bullet" Table Radio (1941)
Philco's model 41-231T table-top radio
was introduced in early 1941, initially
priced at $32.50 in the Eastern USA.
The 41-231T is one of three general
styles of Philco bullet radio, the models
38-10 and 37-610T, from 1938 and
1937, being representative of the oth-
er two.
So-called bullet radios are all the rage
among collectors today because of the
machine-age connotations of the word
bullet when used in the context of
artifacts from the thities and forties. It
evokes impressions of brisk though
unidirectional streamlined motion, in
keeping with the asymmetries inherent
in the styling of those artifacts.
