This radio I purchased from a New York Estate. I seriously do not think it was ever used. It is bright white without a trace of yellowing or wear. It is one of my most prized radios.

    I have a white 500B SN 228417 that I received as a high school graduation present in 1958. It still works fine. It did not come with a box or a sticker on the outside of the battery door. The case has a bit of yellowing which I minimized through the years by following the warning in the manual to never store it in the protective leather case.
