This a very rare 1960's vintage Sharp BPH-20 Solid State AM Radio, produced in very limited quantities in the early 60's, one of the earliest transistor radios made by the Sharp Corporation. Sharp Corporation, founded in 1915 as a mechanical pencil manufacturer (hence the name "Sharp") by T. Hayakawa (of Japan) whose motto was "make products that others want to imitate".

This radio is in superb condition, with very minor signs of wear. It is fully operational. Nothing is broken or missing. The battery compartment is clean without corrosion, like new. It comes with an original battery tube. The cabinet is made of wood with beautiful polished metal trims, all in superb condition. All prints are in good condition with no fading.
