    Description

    Please have a look at all of my current listings.  They are part of my 50 plus years of collecting to be listed (as time permits) over the coming weeks and months.  My collection includes Antique items such as Scientific Instruments, Radios, Bottles, Barometers, Surveying Instruments, Prohibition (and Pre-Prohibition) Whiskey, Art, Books, etc.  I have fully packed storage boxes full of wonderful things that need to see the light of day once more.  I simply do not have the room anymore (just ask my wife).  It is really hard to part with my "treasures" but I find comfort knowing that they will be cared for by the new owners.  Let me know if you have any specific needs and I will try to list them.  ENJOY!!!
    Here we have a really nice example of a Wave Radio Products crystal radio out of Denver Colorado of all places.  The name is printed on the bottom of the radio and hard to read (see photo).  The radio is complete and original.  As I am typing and looking at the radio I am just noticing:  The lower left thumb screw is stamped with "G" (ground).  The upper left thumb screw is stamped "A" (antenna).  That leaves the right two for the headphones (unmarked).  The crystal mechanism is complete and functioning correctly (crack noted in crystal but that is common).  With a good ground, long wire antenna (really long for this guy I would think) and a good set of period headphones it should work.  Work being a relative term.  We are talking static filled, low volume, underwater and in a tunnel kind of great old AM sound.  What more could you want from a radio?  Measures roughly 5" tall by 4.5" wide by 5" deep.
    I have never tried to use the device but everything seems complete and in it's place. Sold as is.  Return only if not as described and shown in photos.  No Overseas/International shipping at this time.  I am still fully employed and overseas shipping consumes too much time and can create issues.  Shipping quote for lower 48 states only as others will be more.  Many Thanks.
