1930s Philco Wooden Radio With Police Band Dial And Original Knobs

This auction lot features an original Philco tabletop radio from the late 1930s to early 1940s, a period when Philco was a leading innovator in home radio technology. The radio is housed in a wooden cabinet with a warm brown finish, featuring a horizontal grille on the left and a square tuning dial on the right. The dial is marked “Philco” and includes AM frequency ranges along with special bands labeled “Police” and “BDC,” reflecting its design for both standard broadcasts and emergency or shortwave channels of that era. Three black control knobs are positioned below the dial for tuning and adjustments, and a black handle is mounted on the top for portability. Philco radios were central to American households during the golden age of radio, making this piece historically significant as an example of early consumer electronics and communication technology.
