1920's Glass Battery Set
Pictured above is a glass battery set from the 1920s. This one was homemade. Many homebrewers did this to clearly show thier skill in building thier own radio. Building the cabinet took great skill. The glass that was used was heavy plate glass which was easy to crack or break. You can see all the components that make up the radio. The maker and owner of this radio would be very proud of this one.
