Teeny 1938 metal "Mighty-Mite" radio
Between 1938 and 1949, Arvin produced a slew of little rugged metal radios. This is the earliest and toughest to find model 40. It's also the only one that sans the Arvin name for "Mighty-Mite" on the escutcheon. It has only two tubes that do the job of 4. When I saw the opportunity to acquire this excellent original ivory example, I went for it.
I put a typical 1960 transistor radio next to it for comparison, so you see just how small this cute set is!:
