Harpers GK-631

Here's a fantastic little shirtpocket radio under the Harpers brand name. The radio itself is pretty ordinary but its reverse plastic panel is outrageous. The small dial window is framed by a sideways, oversized chevron which really creates the illusion of forward motion. I also like how it is inset within a reverse painted circle (which is about the same size as the tuning knob behind it)
What a great 1960's outer space motif.
The perforated chrome speaker grill is a nice touch as well.

Pictured below is a Zephyr ZR-620 which aside from some cosmetic differences is the exact same radio.
