The first one is Angie Dickinson, probably a scene from her series "Policewoman". (I guess now it would be "Policeperson".)
That last one: Possibly the first "Hands-Free" unit.
Okay, I'll say it: "Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!"

It is.
Wayne never missed an opportunity to print photos of women, the more attractive the better, and radios.
I'll also note that she's leaning on a Riley automobile. Their cars through the 50's and 60's always had prominent grills. The brand was snuffed out by British Leyland in 1969. Not very common in the U.S.
My submission today is of a couple of olde tyme rigs, a really nice crystal diode receiver and then the warm glow of a color picture, sorry no ladies.
Okay, last one for me (today at least), but it was so AWESOME I simply had to share it now!

Back in 1963 when I was 10 years old my dad and uncle, both hams gave me the guts of a stand-up wooden Zenith radio with the wooden knobs and all, but as I say, all I had was the chassis and the tubes and a dial very similar to this.
It was on this dial that I learned my band allocations and started a great hobby. I had 200 ft of copper wire with a jumper coming in the window and in those days we didn't have all of the interference that you have today. The noise floor was pretty low, except for the Soviet jamming of course.

I agree.

Wow that's pretty cool, didn't look at that angle, I thought she might have been in some minor role in a series like Angie Dickinson's police woman.Could she have been the model for the photo?

Some of her first roles were in the original Star Trek in 1965, the one that they returned to Earth and she was just a dumb secretary in New York City who was smart as a whip... Always her role, sort of like Goldie Hawn. It's a shame that she's overweight and wheelchair-bound now with advanced multiple sclerosis, not unlike the fate of Annette Funicello.
We seem to have transitioned from old art to photos.. And women... So...
Yeah, I noticed that too. I have some art waiting in the wings to post tomorrow.
Part of the image was missing, so...

My entries today tried to pull us back to the center with real art. I love the old comics too. Newspaper people call photos... Art.
As I have been researching this it is pretty much a bottomless pit of enjoyment and nostalgia. Love it.

Looks like she may have been hired by the Pye Group in UK to show off the bike and radio which were apparently a feature at the trade show.
