Crosley Cr1101a Cd Jukebox Appraisal

Crosley CR1101A Jukebox with CD Player and Radio

This appears to be a Crosley CR1101A Jukebox, a modern replica designed to evoke the classic aesthetic of 1950s jukeboxes. The item features a prominent dome-shaped top section and curvaceous side panels, all finished in a highly reflective, polished chrome or chrome-like material, typical of a retro-futuristic style. The central portion of the jukebox is clear, allowing visibility of two interior panels that mimic the song selection cards of traditional jukeboxes. These panels display text and lines, suggesting song titles or categories, and are backed by what appears to be a light source, creating an illuminated effect. Above these panels, a red rectangular display reads "6 Plays/Quarter Plays-Dime / 3/Nickel." The very top has a coin slot, albeit likely non-functional for actual payment on a modern replica. Below the main visual display, there is a row of square, amber-toned buttons with embossed letters (A-K) and numbers (1-9), designed for song selection. The overall construction appears to be a combination of plastic (for the clear panels and buttons), chrome-plated plastic or metal, and internal electronic components for its modern functions like a CD player and radio. The item shows some visible signs of wear, including smudges and possible tarnishing or dulling of the chrome finish, indicating it has been used or handled. There is also a black power cord visible on the left side, confirming its electrical nature. The style period is a modern reproduction of mid-20th-century design, likely manufactured in the 2000s or later. The craftsmanship aims to replicate the vintage look, but the materials suggest mass production rather than bespoke artisan work. The 'Crosley' brand name is faintly visible on the lower display section.
