I don't have any models numbers in my head but FADA made a very 30s art deco looking bakelite set. Haven't had a working one to try.

Many 40s post war FM radios actually had both the prewar ~42-50Mc and modern postwar band as apparently there was a transition period.

Performance varied by make and sometimes model. Some are still quite competent, others are kinda deaf, some like the one tube fremodine circuit are thrown for a loop by MPX stereo and HD radio sub-carriers.

A number of TVs deliberately included the FM band since it was between CH6 and 7 of the VHF TV band and customers might want FM too when buying a TV...Sort of like how early disc based game consoles included CD, DVD, or Blu-ray playback as an extra.
