What happens
Gildersleeve asks his housekeeper Birdie to bring him a project, and Birdie, a neighbor, brings Gildersleeve an antique vase. Gildersleeve, at the workshop Leila has set up in his house, tries to turn the vase into a lamp. Leila, Birdie's friend, brings a family heirloom vase to be repaired. Gildersleeve and Leila work together on a lamp. The Great Gildersleeve is an NBC radio series from the 1950s starring Harold Peary, Willard Waterman, Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle. This episode, Leila's Antique Vase, follows the mix-up over the vase and Gildersleeve's attempts to fix it.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
