Bob Diggs Collection of Early Radio

Auction Details

Bob's fantastic collection of early radios will stir up interest across the collecting spectrum. Bob had a good eye for the finer radios but, because of moving to a smaller home, he has decided to sell his entire sizeable collection at auction. Take a look at the variety of crystal radios, horn speakers, and wireless items in this sale.
The auction company has made an attempt to correctly describe and make note of any flaws on each item. If you have specific requests regarding any listed item, contact the auctioneer directly at the number given elsewhere.
