Here is a rare and desirable battery operated radio manufactured in 1923. It is a Zenith model 4R, which unusual in that the company’s name is still listed as Chicago Radio Laboratories on the front panel. That name went back to the earliest days of Zenith when their founders were making sets in somebody’s basement or garage. In later years, Zenith dropped the name Chicago Radio Laboratories and was just Zenith Radio. In examining it, I can find a defect as pictured on the front panel, which is a slight crack. This should be a centerpiece of an early radio collection due to its interesting history and its fine appearance and construction.
