Domestic Portable Radios: Kolster-Brandes FB10 and FP151 / FP11 Radios

This trader advert from July 1951 continues the "nautical" theme to advertise these table top radios.  The latter midget was affectionately known as 'The Toaster' due to its shape and odd control knobs on the front feet.

KB Prestige is linked with the Queens!

In newspapers, magazines, cinemas throughout the country thousands of pounds have been spent ... and will continue to be spent ... to tell your public that KB luxury radio is installed in the Luxury Cunarders.

KB prestige has never been higher than it is to-day; listeners in your area know it.  They know, too, that if KB is good enough for "The Queens," it is good enough for them.  That is why KB sales go on increasing.
