Lot 3134
A Good Example Of The Infamous Murphy Type A24 Wireless Receiver, With tri-ladder speaker fret, sloped sides, as designed by R. D. Russell in 1934; together with a Murphy type, TA160, with proud Perspex tuning and push-button controls, magic eye (2) Footnote: The famous designer, R. D. Russell, was employed to work on radio case designs for Murphy at a time when the commercial strengths of the firm were working harder to suppress other competition - Ekco had the genius of Coates, Murphy had the genius of Russell. There was a very mixed reaction to this set when released and it is recorded that the design was a love/hate split. Letters addressed to and received by Russell contained writing condemning his work, whilst elsewhere, many positive reviews were seen. This included one moment a Bournemouth radio dealer who sold an A24 to a well-to-do lady who thought the design clashed terribly with her sitting room décor - so instead, re-papered and re-painted her entire room to match this Murphy set, as she loved it so much. In the words of the late great Frank Murphy himself, ''I don't know anything about design, but I know what I LIKE and…the longer you look at it, the more you like it!''. Ref: Murphy News, 10th March 1934 and, subsequently, used in advertising campaigns.
