I watched I think Shadow of the Thin Man this morning, dated 1941. There is a scene where William Powell is speaking to an older lady and she is carrying a portable radio, quite a small thing, tucked in her arm, listening to radio programs. I didn't know such things were available at the time. Any portable radio I'd ever seen was big, like suitcase big. Does anyone have info on when portable radios became widely available and were they really available that small?
Thanks
