Little Orphan Annie’s Decoder Badge
Don’t you just love the Radio Orphan Annie secret
decoder scene in the movie A Christmas Story?
Little Ralphie recieved the 1940 version of the
decoder in the movie which was the last metal one
they made.
Getting your hands on one could be costly but sure
would be neat. If you can’t afford one, check out
this website. You can print one and assemble it
just like the real thing. Then buy their CD set of the
classic ROA shows and decode the messages for
yourself.

02/08/09 I saw one just today on an ebay auction, starting at $249 or buy it now for $399. Apparently it is the identical 1940 model that our Ralphie used in the Christmas Story. I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!
