ANTIQUE RADIOS

Antiques from a golden age
While "radio days" are bygone days for most of us, many avid
collectors are captivated by this multi-faceted category. From early
wireless radios to elaborate mirrored models that would make Liberace
proud, the diversity of antique radios invites a broad range of
collectors.
Most tend toward niches, perhaps focusing on early crystal or battery
sets, '30s cathedrals, Bakelite/Catalin or HiFi models. There's no
rhyme or reason as to why one radio becomes collectible and another
doesn't, and design.
