Old Radio

This thing is so old, the tuning dial is marked from 0-100. This thing dates from the early 1920's.
There are no markings as to brand but I may be able to determine the manufacturer by the tube layout...?
Kind of looks like an angry bird.

I don't know if it was unique THEN, but it sure is unique NOW! Great image!

As a radio collector I have never seen this one, it could be a home brew. Pull the tubes, if they have four prongs and have names such as CX 201-A, CX 299 or Audion, you have an early 1920's radio

How about a shot showing only showing only the center and the surrounding yellow?

Very interesting, and it does look like an angry bird. Do you have any idea if it works or not?

I have never plugged it in. These old radios needs recapped and power applied slowly to prevent catastrophic events.
I get more enjoyment from its appearance and not real concerned if it works or not.

Smart move. NEVER Plugged in a old radio with out having it check out first. Some years ago a friend of my plugged in a old radio. The radio exploded, he end up with burns on his face which left bad burns marks on his face.
If the radio has a AC plug, the radio was make after the 1920s. Did any one look inside the radio? Look up the web site "Radio Attic" may find a picture of that radio. To me the radio look like it was made in the 1930s. You may have a real fine in that radio.
