![Here we have a black, rectangular radio with curved edges and corners and small feet for the base. On the front, there is a large circular speaker on covered with brown and black woven fabric. Below the speaker is an decorative arch design with a curved station indicator at the top, textured plastic on the sides, and logo with embossed numbers and tuner below. The logo is a small picture of a simple bird's head, with its beak turning a small circle with concentric rings around. Below the logo and above the center dial is embossed letters and numbers, [VE 301] above three small circular dials. To the left and right of the central dial, outside of the arches, are two knobs with gripped edges and small arrows above curving to the right.](https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/169328_dbbf157d3060f907_n.jpg "Volksempfänger (\"People's Receiver\") VE 301 Radio")
