crosley radio catalog 2006

In 1920, Powel Crosley founded the

company that pioneered radio broad-

casting and mass market manufactur-

ing around the world. Dismayed with

the $130 price tag for the radio

receiver he promised to buy for his

son’s birthday, Crosley decided to

make his own. Upon successfully

building a working set for only $35,

Crosley was quick to spot the mass market potential.

It was a simple idea - design a fully functioning radio,

meticulously craft each unit with obsessive detail and precise

accuracy, and of course add a measure of consideration for the wallet.

This simple idea lead Crosley Radio to become

the world’s largest radio manufacturer

while Powel Crosley became known as

‘The Henry Ford of Radio.’ His relent-

less fascination with mechanical devices,

coupled with his intense desire to become a millionaire, sent

Crosley’s career soaring.

He’s most well-know for the production of mass market radios,

and the creation of WLW – ‘The Nation’s Station’ and the

500,000 watt tower he constructed that transmitted FDR’s

Fireside Chats - incidentally, whose signals were reported to have

been heard as far away as Australia! By the mid 1900’s he

presided over a star-studded radio empire that featured such stars

such as Rosemary Clooney, Red Skelton, Jack Benny, and more.

A true industrialist, Crosley also became known for a multitude of

ventures. He was famous for The Crosley – a

miniature-sized automobile, fashioned after the

lightweight European cars. The chubby-profiled

vehicle promised 50 miles to the gallon and was sold in

department stores for just $325. Crosley’s lifelong

obsession with automobiles began at a young

age when Crosley, just twelve, won a bet with his

father by successfully powering a four-wheeled

wagon with an electric battery and motor.

Having dubbed himself the man of ‘50 jobs in 50 years,’ he con-

tinued to amaze the masses with such creations as: The

Shelvador – a refrigeration unit that introduced the new concept

of door shelving units, The Musicone – an instrument used to

amplify the entire range of the human voice The Moonbeam –

Crosley’s self-designed airplane, The Roamio, – the first car radio,

The Icy-Ball – a chemical-mechanical ice box that served rural

areas lacking electricity, The Reado – a facsimile system that

transmitted words and pictures via radio waves, The Koolrest – a

bed cooling system, The X-er-vac – a machine that stimulated the

scalp in an effort to counter baldness, and The Go-bi-bi – a go-

kart/stroller type contraption for young children just to name a few.

However, Crosley’s entrepreneurial spirit didn’t stop there.

As a Cincinnati native, he decided to step in when the Cincinnati

Reds declared bankruptcy. Crosley acquired the team ensuring

they would remain an integral

part of Cincinnati’s culture. In

1930 he went on to build

Crosley Field which triumphed

until 1970 as the famous

Cincinnati Reds’ playing field.

Crosley was credited with producing the first night baseball

game, transforming Crosley Field from night to day with the flick

of a switch powering 615 lamps. He went on in subsequent years

to broadcast the first live baseball game on WLW-TV – the Crosley

television broadcasting division.

Today the Crosley name lives on with superbly detailed

replicas that truly transcend time. Reintroductions of original vin-

tage radios and turntables feature the newest technologies

graced by unforgettable Crosley stylings. The Crosley Collection

includes AM/FM radios, multi- functional

audio cassette/compact disc players, portable

suitcase-styled record players and turntables, juke-

boxes, music boxes, telephones and more. Rich lines,

retro designs and authentic crafting have made

Crosley today’s premier vintage radio manufac-

turer. True to the Crosley tradition, these repli-

cas are as fabulous as they are functional, pro-

viding a delightful dose of nostalgia.
