The Sparton Bluebird, and a few other models, were mirror radios. That is, a mirror was a significant part of the artistic design of the radio. These were stunningly beautiful, and expensive, when new, and are very rare today because the silvering on the mirror would deteriorate and separate from the glass. In addition, the color is in the glass, not in a coating, so if the glass is broken or chipped, replacement is essentially impossible. IIRC, the peach is even more rare than the blue.
These radios regularly sell for several thousand dollars if in excellent condition.
It's a real find! Good luck!
