1.	Federal Junior Crystal Radio. This is a nice example of this desireable radio. Click photo to see the other side.
2. Click to see more pictures!	Music Master Ware Model 250 Battery Radio. This is a nice example of this very rare radio. This radio was a joint effort between Music Master and Ware. It was a very expensive radio when new in 1925 at $250, so very few were sold. Then, both Ware and Music Master went bankrupt. I have not tested this radio, but it appears to be complete, minus the tubes. One unusual feature of this radio is the internal loop antenna which you can turn with a knob on the front panel. There is some pot-metal in the tuning mechanism and the dial is not turning. Otherwise, the radio is in very nice condition.

1.	Trimm 'Home' Speaker A nice example of this early radio horn speaker! This is in entirely original condition and works great. The bell is paper-mache, the base is wood, and it has the original painted finish. There are some nicks on the edge of the bell, but generally it is very nice considering how fragile it is. It still has the original driver and it works great. Bell diameter is 10 inches, overall height is about 20-1/2 inches. The label on the base is excellent. I have played this speaker with a 1920's battery radio and it plays well. Click photo to see more pictures.
2.	Saal Symphony Grand Radio Reproducer- $175. A beautiful 1920s radio horn speaker! This is in original condition and works great. The bell is thick brown bakelite and the base and neck are metal with a highly-textured bronze finish. There are some nicks and scratches, but generally it looks very nice. The cover on the bottom has a nice decal that says it is a 'Saal Symphony Grand Radio Reproducer, Mfg by H.G. Saal Company, Chicago, Ill.' Bell diameter is 13 inches, overall height is about 21 inches. I have used this speaker with a 1920's battery radio and it plays well. Click photo to see more pictures.
