  • Notes
  • One of Crosley's first radio products was the Crosley Magfon. The Crosley Magfon is a cabinet speaker with a built-in horn speaker that amplifies the sound produced by a watch case receiver (headphone) that the user would slip into the slot in back - at a price of $ 10. Case finished in antique mahogany. The Magfon is sometimes wrongly spellt as Magfone. At least in the first Crosley catalog from early 1922, page 15, the Magfon is also offered including a special Baldwin typ "C" receiver for $ 18.
