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.

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
I’ve never seen anything like it.
Fun picture.

How about a shot showing only showing only the center and the surrounding yellow?
Nice shot of the old fellow.

Nice radio….. Did you happen to open a topic at antiqueradios.com, a forum dedicated to radios such as yours?
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.
