Bang and Olufson
The answer is 1939

from Bang and Olufson newsletter:

Resonance to today
As was the case with so many other radios made at the time in Bakelite, BeoLit 39’s design was strongly influenced by the most powerful symbols of the day, such as skyscrapers and, in this case, streamlined cars. The scale of the radio was inspired by instrument panels and the loudspeakers by the vehicles’ radiator grilles.

The answer is 1938

"Star of the Day: The BeoSound 3 - A modern-day classic retold
One of the earliest classic designs from Bang & Olufsen was the Beolit 39 radio from 1938, made from Bakelite instead of wood and inspired by the spirit and symbolism of the times, as reflected in streamlined vehicles and new skyscraper design."

ooh i hope i haven't steered anyone wrong with the 1939/1938 question - I looked at several sources and it all said 1939, and then I pasted the bit from their own newsletter.

Can anyone confirm which is actually correct for those that havne't entered yet?

sorry if anyone entered incorrectly because of me

For peeps having problems with the Swarovski one, try sending a request for a password reminder. When I did that I received a password and haven't had any problems since.
