UPDATED: vintage concept sketches

Edward Klein

Words by his son, Lee Klein: “My dad liked to experiment with backgrounds, materials etc. These look like they were colored pencils and pastels on mitense paper. These were of clock radios for Montgomery Ward, probably from the '60’s. Ward’s was one of the first companies to have their own private label brand, “Airline”, for all of their consumer electronics products. While other companies like Sears had an in-house team of designers, my dad was an outside consultant on retainer for Wards.”
