Sparton was known for their Art Deco mirrored glass radios, but they made several others. Sparton survived the depression and both wars, and made consumer electronics up to the 1960s, diversifying into oil, automotive, and defense sectors. After consolidation and selling, they exist today as a defense contractor for maritime systems.

This unit was in pretty good shape, and even still had the big Sparton speaker. The chassis has a lot of what looked like old-school gel electrolytics, parts that were most certainly going to need replacement before even plugging the device in.
