The Art Deco (also Streamlined Moderne) style of radios from the 30's-50's was
usually made out of a plastic called BAKELITE.  Today these are highly sought
after.  I have a reproduction right here at work.  These usually have a lot of
streamlined curves to them.  If you want to build one, I would recommend the
use of curved bricks with accents in rarer colors (green, orange, pink,  tan,
etc.).
