Overview

The wireless wows in this stylish ad for Bush Radio in which the sound quality is so good that it tricks a policeman into believing a crime is taking place. Promising to “Get any programme you want… and forget the others”, the Bushranger model featured came in at 13 guineas – equivalent to almost £1000 today. While affordable not just for the super-rich, this price made it an aspirational lifestyle product of its day - out of reach for many working-class consumers.
