• Notes
• The radio has the shape of a hockey puck and was committed to Toshiba by Canadian Marconi Company in honor of Maurice Richard, a Canadian ice hockey player. In the National Hockey League (1942-1960) he scored 626 goals and the last number he had was 9. These two magic numbers and a couple of hockey sticks are displayed in the middle of the radio and on the top there is his signature. His retirement from professional activity is dated 1960.
