1920s battery operated Forest Radio. An unusual brand...not the De Forest of fame. The black bakelite front shows the name Forest with a thunderbolt through it. The lid opens, and a stretcher above the front panel lifts off so that the chassis can be easily lifted out of the case. Looks to be about 1924-1925. Nice mahogany wood case, no damage to it, but the wood could used some conditioning. Also, the volume knob is missing. Everything looks clean inside, with Five 01A vacuum tubes, (tubes not tested.) Measures 17-3/8" wide X 11-3/4" deep X 9-5/8" high Packaged weight is 17lbs.
