The body of the radio is painted with horizontal black and yellow stripes and there are white windows with the “CP Rail” logo - on one side is a red and white sticker that reads “Chan 1 - 161.475 TX & RX - A.” The antenna is capped with a red plastic knob.The top of the box has a grille under the handle - possibly a vent - the handle itself has a metal inlay with the manufacturer details. Also on the top is the bracket mount for the hand-held radio mouthpiece, the mouthpiece and spiral cord, the plug for the mouthpiece cord, two dials, the radio antenna, and yellow labels that read “RADIO SHOP LOANER.”

- Description
- Two metal boxes with hinged lids and fabric handles held to the lid with metal brackets. Stencilled on the front of both boxes is “WIRELESS SET NO 19 CASE SPARE VALVES” in white. Online searches show that these boxes were originally used to house spare parts for Wireless Set No. 19 transmitters used by the British Army during World War II. Adhered to the lid of one box is a piece of white paper with a typed list of parts glued to a larger tan-coloured tag with writing obscured by the white paper - the lager tag is held to the lid with tape. A similar tag with list is inside the second box - both boxes are otherwise empty.
