  • Notes
  • The Shapleigh Hardware Company 1936 catalog, page 2000, describes the model 46 Kadette Jewel radio as having orchid plaskon with moonstone grille. Collectors today refer to this as the 'lavender' Jewel. It is unknown if it was ever actually advertised as being lavender. Measurements in the Shapleigh catalog did not include knobs.

    Colors and material per Shapleigh's 1936 catalog:                       

    Model 40: brown bakelite with two-tone grill. This is a solid color tan grill with no marbling that gives a two-tone appearance to the radio.

    Model 41: walnut bakelite with agate grill.

    Model 42: mahogany plaskon with tortoise grill.

    Model 43: ivory plaskon with alabaster grill.

    Model 44: chinese red plaskon with coral grill.

    Model 45: black onyx plaskon with jade grill.

    Model 46: orchid plaskon with moonstone grill. (Today's collectors call this lavender)

    Additional colors and materials per August 1935 Radio Journal ad, page 12:

    Model 47: black pearl plaskon with silver grill.

    Model 48: marble plaskon with black onyx grill.
