bang & olufsen auction, etc.
Have you ever stood
in front of a Bang & Olufsen product, saying to yourself:
"Boy, would I like to have one of those?" - Well, I have - and
that's the way I started my unique collection of vintage Bang
& Olufsen products, covering a.o. the glorious days of tube radios
-a time long gone by...
I have collected a wide selection of B&O radios, shavers, tape recorders,
portable radios and TV-sets. My collection covers the periods from the
modest start of the company in 1925 in Struer, Denmark, up through the
thirties, through WW2 in the forties, when the factory was sabotaged,
through the fifties, which brought even more innovation and new inventions,
and up through the sixties when the use of transistors revolutionized
this industry. I even have a few products from the designwise exciting
seventies as well.
Bang & Olufsen moved into the new transistorized era with hundreds of
beautifully designed and unique products. Today Bang & Olufsen is the
world's leading manufacturer of excellence.
The products are still made in Struer and distributed around the world,
adding to the pleasure of our daily lives. Visit them at: www.bang-olufsen.com
or, even better, your nearest Bang & Olufsen dealer.
I own - or have owned - all the pieces on this web-site, yet my collection
is far from complete. The products marked with
are now in the US and are owned by the association of Bang & Olufsen
dealers there, whereas the products marked with
constitute my present collection here in Denmark.
I do not sell these Bang & Olufsen products, but if somebody has a serious
exhibition or museum project that would enable the collection to be shared
with a wider audience, I would be willing to consider selling my whole
present collection for this purpose. If you have any questions, comments
