Silvertone Model M-35 Vacuum Tube Hearing Aid
Sears, Roebuck & Co of Chicago, IL began selling hearing aids under the
Silvertone trade name in 1949. Sears did not make their own hearing aids
but had various manufacturers make models for them under their trade
name.
The Silvertone Model M-35 was made by The Micronic Corp. and is
similar to Micronic's own Model 101.
This Silvertone model was 4⅛ " x 2¼" x 1" and weighed
4½ oz.
