Cat\'s Whisker Galena Crystal Wireless Set Receiver 1922-24, Marconi-Era
Price: US $610.00

Crystalwireless set receiver manufactured by the British Wireless Supply Company,the Britphone 2B, dating to 1922-24. An excellent example of the variety of design found in such simple early domestic wireless broadcast radioreceivers.

Vertical mahogany case with removable back panel, measures approx. 8 x 9 x3 inches. The condition of this set isvery good- please see photos.Nickel-plated fittings, slider oncoil tuning. I believe the detectormight be a period replacement, but I cannot be sure. Looksall complete, but itis untested and is therefore sold as a \"collector\'s display item\".

This set displays very well. The vertical panel design is quite unusual for the period. A classic radio setfrom so-called the \"Marconi\" era at the beginning ofdomestic bbcradio broadcasting.
