Overview:Up for sale is a rare vintage Global GR-711 6-transistor pocket radio lot. Manufactured in Japan (ca. 1960-1961) during the classic mid-century era of pocket electronics, this highly collectible radio features a striking black chassis accented by an ornate gold-toned chevron mirror dial plate. The radio comes complete with its original custom brown genuine leather protective carrying case featuring a wrist strap and classic saddle-stitched detailing.Specifications:Brand: GlobalModel: GR-711Case Fabrication: Textured brown genuine top grain cowhide leatherCase Construction Details: Contrast amber-colored thick edge stitching, clear debossed text block reading "GENUINE TOP GRAIN COWHIDE / HAND SADDLE STITCHED"Included Items: Transistor radio unit, matching custom leather carrying case with strapRequires 1 standard 9V battery (not included).Condition:Cosmetic Condition: The back panel of the leather case displays typical age-related surface scuffs, material smoothing, and mild creasing from usage. The debossed text remains readable and raised, and the stitched side seams show negligible fraying. The enclosed radio features standard light handling scuffs. *Note, the clear top face overlay sits loosely in place due to a broken tab.Operational State: The radio has undergone basic testing and is confirmed to be in working condition, tuning into stations with audible sound output. The leather body remains flexible, and the structural integrity of the saddle-stitched borders holds firm. Extended electronic longevity under regular daily usage conditions cannot be permanently guaranteed.This vintage item is being sold as-is.--These items are part of an estate from a collector and carpenter by trade (descended from other crafts-persons, mostly in Connecticut).
