Classic Cones (Radio Cone Speakers) by Buford & Jane Chidester

In the latter part of the 1920's, radio manufacturers turned their attention to designing speakers that would look attractive and blend in with the home environment, as well as sound better than the horn speakers produced in the earlier part of the decade. Radio cone speakers were sold as table models, pedestal, lamp stand or wall mounted types and incorporated designs of ships, airplanes, castles, cathedrals, dancing girls and other artistic themes and geometric shapes.

This full color book provides photos, descriptions and current values for almost 300 different models of radio cone speakers from the 1920's. It also includes many advertisements for the speakers shown.
