Just curious, since I don't have the book. When was this radio
manufactured ?

Greetings Bruce,
We are sure this item was not licensed by the RCA Company, since there is no
RCA logo on the item. On the side of the radio is the single word "Victor".
On the bottom of the radio part is stamped: "Made in Japan" and under that
is the number 516. Our educated guess would be that it was manufactured in
Japan in 1960's or early 70's. Nipper was and still is such a popular logo
representing the music industry that items were manufactured that were not
licensed by the company. They are very hard to date since records of their
manufacturer may not exist and are hard to trace. We always appreciate any
information we receive on Nipper items, their history and manufacture date.
