If I saw this at an estate sale for $30-40, I'd consider buying it (knowing it was an antique radio from the 30s/40s). Just because I think it is a very attractive piece.
To collectors, this is an attractive piece too. It is a FADA Bullet catalin radio, and usually radios in this category command quite the price. Many of them are just very design, and colorful too! As with every collectible, condition is important and that is why prices vary a lot. Perfect, original condition catalin radios can go for thousands. Many excellent guides and catalogs are available at your favorite online retailer to help you determine and appreciate the value of these radios. A very nice collection of catalin/bakelite radios, as well as some history ("what is catalin?") can be found here.
