EverReady seem to have cornered the market in radios with names beginning "Sky". This looks to be quite an early transistor version of a Sky Lark and it worked very strongly when I put a battery in it. The case could do with a really good clean but I'm reluctant to do it in case the metallic printing on the name should come off. The carrying handle looks like it's been cut off and the earphone, which should be kept in a little compartment next to the battery, is missing.
