Ever Ready Sky Leader Vintage Portable Transistor Radio

This lot is an Ever Ready Sky Leader, a vintage portable transistor radio offered as a collectable piece of mid-century domestic electronics. Its compact case and carrying strap make it a characteristic example of the portable sets that became popular for use around the home and away from it.

The set has a brown covered case with two gold-coloured pinstripes running down each side, and a perforated speaker grille of woven mesh set into the front. The top carries two knurled control knobs, each with a cream surround, and a cream-coloured carrying handle with three push buttons. A brown leather strap is fitted across the top. The case shows the simple, rounded styling typical of its era.

Condition and Collector Interest

The radio shows general signs of age and use. The cream handle and push buttons show some grime and marking, the covering has light wear, and the strap is visibly worn. The set is offered as seen and no claims are made as to its working order, so prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on the condition before bidding. The case, controls, grille and original strap are all present and give the set its authentic appearance.

Its original styling and branding make it of interest to collectors of vintage portable radios, Ever Ready wares and 1950s and 1960s domestic electronics. It would also suit a buyer looking for a decorative period piece to display.
