History
  • The Zenith 'Beehive' radio was introduced in 1938, reflecting the Art Deco design movement that characterized the era with its bold geometric shapes and luxurious materials such as Bakelite.
  • Zenith Radio Corporation, founded in 1918, became a significant contributor to the development of radio technology and design, and their models are often sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship and historical value.
