Large and impressive mahogany cased crystal wireless set, dating to the early 1920s. Quality construction. Features an open galena, cat's-whisker crystal detector. Tapped inductance tuning. Measures approximately 9 x 9 x9 inches. Overall very good condition - panel and fittings are very clean - see photos. Windings on the coil have come loose - see photos, but it should be quite possible to get this operable with some work. It is sold "as-is", as an untested collector's display item. A very typical example of a receiver from the earliest days of radio broadcasting that displays beautifully. Fairly heavy and will be packed securely - shipping costs reflect this.
