Catalin + Plaskon FADA Radio & Electric Company radios were popular in the 1930's and 1940's, and their designs gave wide exposure to the potential of plastics. The letters F.A.D.A. are the initials of Frank Angelo D'Andrea, founder of FADA Radio Corp.
FADA produced many radios and televisions over the years, but its brightly colored Catalin radios, particularly the Model 1000, popularly known as "The Bullet", is the best-known. The "Bullet" was first introduced in 1940 as a 115 model. It was during the 1940s that the most enduring FADA plastic radio designs were made and marketed. The brightly colored Catalin and Plaskon "Fada Coloradios" streamlined designs became part of the history of what is referred to as the "Golden Age of Radio," during the 1940s. The Catalin FADA radios made prewar are often referred to as the "early" models.
