Atwater Kent was one of the most influential American radio manufacturers of the 1920s and early 1930s, founded by inventor Arthur Atwater Kent Sr. in Philadelphia. Known for their engineering quality and distinctive “breadboard” sets, Atwater Kent radios earned a reputation for reliability, strong performance, and elegant cabinetry during the golden age of radio. By the late 1920s, the company was the largest radio producer in the United States, employing thousands in its state-of-the-art North Philadelphia factory. However, as the Great Depression deepened and price competition intensified, Atwater Kent struggled to compete with lower-cost brands, ceasing radio production in 1936. Today, Atwater Kent radios are highly prized by collectors for their craftsmanship, historical significance, and place in the early story of broadcasting.

Atwater Kent Model 710 Console Radio (circa 1935)
$3,000

Restored inside and out! (Completed: March 5, 2026)
The Atwater Kent 710 is one of the great late-era Atwater Kent consoles: elegant 1930s styling, serious engineering, and the kind of sound that makes people stop mid-sentence and look over at the radio. If you like consoles that do more than “play,” the 710 is a standout.

This set is a multi-band superheterodyne with a high-gain front end and a powerful audio section built around a push-pull output stage using a pair of type 45 tubes. The result is big, effortless volume with smooth, authoritative tone—one of those radios that can fill a room without sounding strained. It’s also a highly capable performer on the dial, with strong sensitivity and selectivity typical of Atwater Kent’s better mid-1930s designs.

Visually, the 710 is pure Art Deco presence: a tall arched dial, bold vertical grille work, and rich veneers that give it real furniture-grade character. It looks right in a library, living room, or office—an authentic pre-war statement piece that is also genuinely enjoyable to use.

Crosley was a pioneering American name in radio, founded by industrialist Powel Crosley Jr. in the early 1920s. After crafting an affordable crystal radio called the “Harko” in 1921, Crosley quickly scaled up production, merging with the Precision Equipment Co. (and acquiring its Armstrong regenerative patent) by 1923—then operating as the Crosley Radio Corporation. Their business model leveraged mass production techniques applied in the automotive sector, earning Crosley the nickname “The Henry Ford of Radio.” By 1925, Crosley had become the largest radio manufacturer in the world, offering innovative, low-cost models like the “Pup” and “Roamio” that sold widely across America

Emerson

Emerson Radio & Phonograph Corporation traces its roots back to 1915, when Victor Hugo Emerson established the Emerson Phonograph Company in New York City. After early financial setbacks, the business was acquired in 1922 by Benjamin Abrams and Rudolph Kanarak, who steered it into radio manufacturing and renamed it Emerson Radio & Phonograph. Emerson pioneered the first radio-phonograph combo in the U.S.—a major leap in convenience and design. During the throes of the Great Depression, the company introduced the ultra-popular “Peewee” pocket radio in late 1932. Of the 500,000 produced through mid-1933, Emerson alone made 300,000, solidifying its place as a powerhouse in compact radio manufacturing.
By 1942, Emerson had claimed roughly one-sixth of the U.S. radio market, before shifting to wartime manufacturing. After going public in 1943, it pivoted toward TVs and experienced explosive growth—by 1950, revenue hit $74 millionwith net income at $6.5 million.

By 1927, FADA had expanded into a large manufacturing facility in Long Island City, ranking among the top five radio producers in the U.S. . As consumer interest shifted, FADA also ventured into home appliances—including “wireless” irons and refrigerators—in the early 1930s, a strategic move to stay afloat during the Depression.
