Silvertone came out with several
midget lines, probably in keeping with their marketing toward the
middle class family. This included metal, other plastics including
beetle and even a wood midget. This line is circa 1939, models
5165-5169. They came in black bakelite, ivory and red plaskon
cases and also brown bakelite (not pictured). They never
painted the cases, to my knowledge. The dial was prone to warpage
and cracking, just like on some Detrola midgets.
