‍The Model 62 - Art Deco Velvet-Tone

Jackson-Bell was able to achieve a different look by adding beveled edges along the sides, and at the peak. Unlike the other “Art Deco” Style Model 62’s,
this cabinet does not have side veneer appliques.

This model came with a black grillwork and in the wood-toned version seen here. Please see the additional photographs for comparison. Both are branded “Velvet-Tone” .

The Fleur-De-Lis Grille work also was used in a Cathedral cabinet with a Mello-Tone brass tag.

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.

These Radios are both Sensitive and Selective across the entire boadcast 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.

The cabinet Design has two basic patented variations: “Art Deco”, with sloped sides, and a sloped top; “Cathedral”, with rounded sides and top. The round grilles are interchangeable. This Radio appears with many brands, any styling details. They were marketed throughout the United States, and beyond.

Jackson-Bell utilized a series of three chassis versions for the Model 62.
