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.
