3F54 The Little Hostess

A smart model that stands up.  For kitchen, bedroom, desk, etc.  Beetleware case—choice of green, ivory or black.  Green and black models have chrome bezel ring, decorative edge and feet.  Ivory model, gold finish trimmings.  3 1/2-inch cream enamel dial.  Black Arabic numerals.  Movement—silent; self-starting synchronous.   6-foot attached cord, maple for ivory and green, silver gray for black model.  Height 5 1/2 in.; width 5 in.; depth overall 2 in.  Gross shipping weight 2 lbs. each.  Standard package of 12 (one color) 24 lbs.
 

Same scalloped design as the New Hostess but much smaller.   One of the rarest of the 3-series in green, black or ivory.  The black one probably has silver hardware but I don't know if I've ever seen one.  This one is old enough to have braided, "maple"- colored cord.  I've now lived long enough to buy braided rayon cord in almost any color I need (which is better than the alternatives).
