[!addison-b2-canadian-radio.jpg](http://canadiandesignresource.ca/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/addison-b2-canadian-radio.jpg) Photo: [Michael Jack](http://www.flickr.com/photos/transistor_radios/3087170395/in/set-72157603638729355/) This is a Canadian made (Toronto, Ontario) Addison B2 circa 1946-47. In it’s day it was a fairly basic/affordable radio utilizing an AA5 ([All American Five](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_American_Five)) tube line up. These days this is considered to be a “not-so-common”, desirable radio. They are very hard to find and collectors seem to like the waterfall speaker grill. The ivory portion of this cabinet is [plaskon](http://canadiandesignresource.ca/?page_id=5276) and the burgundy trim is made from [bakelite](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakelite). -Michael Jack
