We mustn’t miss out the ladies, so here are two very well designed novelty radios for them.
The first is an older analogue radio. The two controls are in the black area.
Recently, a scanning version was made with a longer stiletto heel to house the FM aerial.
Here is yet another elegant design. The lipstick is the aerial which can be extended as you see. Very neat , attractive and well executed idea.
Adam and Eve.
This is X cert novelty radio.
The LS is in Eve (she has the last word!). Controls as shown! Note that they fit together well !
Simple lines here in this mannequin radio. The 3 legs are the FM aerial and the top is the manual tuning.
And here she is in person ! The controls are......well you can see.. One of quite a number of such novelties exploiting certain features of the opposite sex.
Twins here in more ways than
An old novelty dating back some 30 odd years. It should cool you down but the box lists many reasons to turn you on !
The tap’s handle is the on/off and volume control. Another pleasing design.
If you do collect don’t forget the boxes which are sometimes more
attractive than the radios inside them !
Hope you have enjoyed looking at a selection from my novelty radio collection. So we end with a smile.....
For many more smiles see my indoor photographs and much else .....

The BBC broadcasts the test matches in the UK on long wave. Here are some BBC promotional novelties designed solely for LW only all with manual tuning.
They all have clips to fasten on clothing and with earphones.
I haven’t yet found any banana novelty radios but here is some other fruit. The apple’s volume control is the stalk.
The lemon guy is a scanner.
The red tap is a modern scanner. LS is in the spout !
