The 1946 Bendix Catalin bakelite radio is one of the most often seen Catalin radios. It sold well, it was an attractive design, and they seem to have had a high survival rate, all factors which have guaranteed a plentiful supply today.
Catalin versions of this radio were only made in the green and black color combination seen here. The cabinet was actually four pieces. The base and grill was one piece, the green top and sides were another, the the two "shoulders" on either side of the dial were separate pieces, as well. The green sections, typically, had white and dark green marbleization mixed into a lighter green translucent base color
