Erlik, By 1961 almost all radios were made of plastic. The rosewood cases say mid fifties to me - 1957 seems like it's pushing it a bit but possible. My uncle had an old rosewood tv/am/fm cabinet type console that featured both black and white colors on with a wopping 7" screen and a 12" built in monoral speaker. It was either a Motorola, Sylvania or RCA Victor. When he got a larger screen tv he gave it to us. Imagine what that would have been worth now if we'd have kept it. - TJ
