A Good Ferranti Type 145 'The Jelly-Mould' Wireless Receiver

Designed 1939, made 1945, with needle-point three band tuning scale, in bubble-rib profile brown bakelite case. Footnote: The very first British post WW11 set released, but born from Ferranti's drawings set and approved in late 1939. It is noted that these surviving examples retain some clever yet inevitable 'cutting-of-corners' from a time when parts, manpower and financial restrictions were very tight. Good old Ferranti - they were almost as good as Murphy. But without the cigar.

Sold for £100
Estimated at £40 - £60
