I don't have a pic yet but I will post one soon. I was hunting around this weekend for a new project and found a very unique wooden jewelry box at my local antique store. It's a wooden box with a black leather cover with a metal tall ship on it. Inside is red velvet and slats placed inside for what I assume is jewelry storage. The weird part is there are no makers mrks anywhere on it and it has a FM radio built into the box with two dials on the right side. Just curious if anyone has seen one of these before.

Sears, JC Pennys, Montgomery Wards used to offer things like this back in the 1970's in their catalouges, usually Japanese in origin if it has a radio in it. Should be some makers info inside the battery cover. Hope this helps.

My dad was a TV and radio repairman back in the day. Man, if he had these I would have loved them.

No problem sir, I think they are really cool. Wish they would come out with new ones along the same vein.
