Zenith R514-W Clock Radio 1952? 1953? Zenith Radio Corporation Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.

Another eBay win, August 2001.

I'm not sure of the date yet. Phil Nelson dates his brown model 514 and ivory R514-W at 1952, but there are the 2 CD marks, on the dial, which weren't required to be on new US-made AM radios until 1953. Perhaps the model was introduced in late 1952, and continued production through 1953?
