Model 62 - Cathedral Tiffany=Tone:
Herbert Horn was a Los Angeles Radio Dealer, with a distribution throughout the United States and beyond. The collaboration with Jackson-Bell lasted throughout the Jackson-Bell Model 62 period. After that, Hebert Horn and the Tiffany-Tone brand became a competitor to Jackson-Bell.
The Tiffany-Tone cathedral came in two cabinet versions - this style with the two fancy book-ended Appliques, and a cabinet with the more standard Jackson-Bell one piece drape. All Herbert Horn Model 62 Radios had the same Grille work.
The Model 62s
The Jackson-Bell model 62 was a remarkable achievement. A small chassis with excellent performance, housed in a myriad of patented cabinet styles.
The Model 62 is both sensitive and selective across the entire broadcast band. This is possible because of three stages of R.F. amplification, with “Constant Gain”. The volume is sufficient to fill a room. The tone control, and tone quality is impressive for a small radio.
Jackson-Bell utilized a series of three chassis versions for the Model 62.
The cabinet design has two basic patented variations: “Art Deco”, with sloped sides, and sloped top; “Cathedral” with rounded sides and top. The round grilles are interchangeable. This radio appears with many brands and styling details throughout the United States, and beyond.
