  • Notes
  • This mini cathedral marked Breting was never made by this company. Breting is known for communication receivers but they didn't manufacture radio receivers like the pictured one.

    The radio consists of a Gilfillan model 54-A chassis from 1935/36, mounted in a recent make retro style cathedral cabinet.

    This product imitates a yet unknown original radio, and is therefore to be considered a fake.
