This "Brand New" in the original box, vintage antique AM 7 transistor radios are the rare of the rare.   Collectors call them NOS (new old stock). 

These were made in the Republic of China before 1968 over 43 years ago and are still brand new !!! 

Yes we have done the research Provenance to confirm manufacturer as follows:

Summary:Nantong Radio Factory; Nantong (Jiangsu, E) ??????: Brands: ??,
      Fengshou; Shanying ??; Youyi ??; Baoshihua ???. 
      History:Nantong Radio Factory; Nantong (Jiangsu, E) ??????:
      Jiang?su ??, trad. ?? or Jiang?su?sheng ???? trad. ??? (sheng ? is
      "province"): The province Jiangsu (Kiangsu) is in East China (E), abbr.
      ?|?. The capital is Nanjing ??.
      ?? is Nán?tong? in Mandarin. Nantong is a prefecture level city in
      Jiangsu, ??. For Jiangsu province (Kiangsu, Jiang?su? in Mandarin,
      traditional ??) in southeast China, abbr. ?|?, capital is Nanjing ??.
      ????, trad. ???? (Radio Factory) = Wú?xiàn?diàn ????Wireless            (we  call it Radio, because most used); Chang? ? trad. ? = Factory (yard / depot /
      workhouse / works / (industrial).
      The factory can be written as Nantong? ??????? Nantongshi? Radio Factory.
      The manufacturer can perhaps also be written as Jiangsu ??????????
      Jiangsusheng Nantongshi Radio Factory or ???????? Jiangsu Nantong Radio Factory.

PRC 68 Baoshihua ??? 7053AG1 The model Baoshihua ??? 705 Jewel Flower operates with only 1.5 volts.

____________________________________________________

The first transistors ever made were germanium not silicon like today.  Germanium transistor use was stopped in about 1970 making these even more rare and also able to run on a single 1.5 volt "D" cell battery.  Silicon transistors need higher voltages to work properly and the main reason for the 9 volt battery creation.

Another great plus is how loud it plays, plus run a long time, because of this "D" battery.  You cannot beat  in an emergency, because it uses same battery type, as your flashlight !! 

Unlike cell phone towers that become overloaded or blown away in an emergency the AM radio keeps on working plus will receive stations from over 2,000 miles on most nights.

You can bet the million people who had power go dead during hurricane Irene wish they had one of these not a stinking smellphone.  In Florida we have lost power for 2 weeks with zero smellphone service during hurricane Wilma for example.  NYC had zero smellphone during 911.

This is why the emergency broadcast system is setup for AM not short distance local stations only FM or even shorter television.

These always work.  IF you're on a mountaintop, middle of the ocean or the South Pole. (Sorry not this side of moon without an external antenna)

History of radio is as follows:

My good friend Dean’s son gave an old cardboard shipping box with oriental writing on it to me.

Dean, a brilliant engineer who could fix anything that moved (any kind or size of old sewing machine was his favorite), had been retired several years when I moved in across the street from him. He welcomed my family in like old friends and was always there for company or the challenge of repairing anything for anybody in the neighborhood.

He had spent several years in the orient as a young man and then Alzheimer’s struck. His California garage was full of paraphernalia that was eventually left to his son -- who thought I would find the contents of the strange box interesting. I did WOW 20 original transistor radios still in their original packaging?  If offered reasonable price for this rarity, starting with one may sell a few, only thru a electronic engineering friends ultra high quality merchandise website, nucow(dot)com on ebay.

He and I was amazed also at the really strong emergency reception of this radio and requiring only one D size battery to work.   Alan.
