4A1 , "The Mercury"

This is a cute little brown bakelite radio that was the entry level model in 1947. Despite its small size, it contains 5 tubes. The radio was marketed as a second radio, perhaps suitable for a child's bedroom or the kitchen.

4A26 , "The Newscaster"

The Newscaster is a five tube ivory painted bakelite radio. It has big-set features like automatic volume control and an electrodynamic speaker.

4A10 , "The Reporter"

Another ivory painted bakelite radio for 1947.

4A25 , "The Headliner"

"Move it anywhere in the house, plug it in, and enjoy your favorite program." Another ivory painted bakelite radio in the 1947 lineup, a 5-tube set with "ultra-modern plastic design."

4A11 , "The Majorette"

"Tops in table-set performance; tops in styling." This set has an interesting dial with artistic styled numbers.

4A12 , "The Narrator"

"A beautiful modern table model, designed with smart, new, sweeping louvre effect." This is one of my favorite post-war cabinet styles by Firestone. This white painted AM only version seem to be less common, there is an AM/FM version from 1949 in brown bakelite that seems much more common.

4A20 , "The Modern Classic"

Finally, a wood table model in the 1947 line. A two-band AC-DC set, the Modern Classic features six tubes and a permanent magnet speaker.

4A24 , "The Glenmount"

A wooden, battery-operated table model. This radio uses an A-B Power pack battery.

4A21, 4A22 , "The Adam"

A relatively ugly (sorry) wooden table model that came in either walnut or mahogany cabinet (thus the two model numbers). Advanced push-button tuning, three-position tone control, and six tubes. There is a similar radio by Stewart Warner.

4A23 , "The Interceptor"

The top of the line tabletop model for 1947, this model features pushbutton tuning, a seven-tube circuit, large dial, three-position tone control, standard and shortwave, and a phono connection. This cabinet style has been around since the 1942 model year.
