In Germany, the T 31 was a highly sought-after pocket radio with an unusual design that was sold at high prices 60 years ago. Our example is in good original condition. The printed lettering and symbols are 99% visible, the casing has hardly yellowed due to exposure to light. The casings have no cracks or defects. The device is complete, it makes a noise when batteries are inserted. We offer a classic of modern industrial design with the T 31 by Dieter Rams, designed in 1958/60. The devices are rarely on offer in such a good original condition, as the melamine turns yellow when exposed to light. There is also a considerable risk of breakage if the piece falls. All of this is only moderately available with us and the beautiful piece is sure to please the collector who looks at it in the showcase.
