  • Notes
  • This model qualifies as a fake because someone attached a type plate of the Hervor loudspeaker Type O to it. While the company has made detector elements, there is no radio production known before the 1930s.

    The presence of a type plate taken from a different device can only be viewed as an act of deception intended to present the receiver as being more rare and valuable.

    Unknown origin, might be a yet unidentified crystal receiver.
    Dimensions given with plugged coils.

    The ebonite panel was made by:

    H & F de Poix et Cie
    4 Boulevard Maréchal-Joffre, Rueil, France
