AHEAD OF THEIR TIME

This 18-year-old inventor was posed to solve a problem he thought would take the world by storm- a portable radio and headphone set... in 1922! Way before the Walkman or ipod obviously ...  This was a radio device... with the antenna built and integrated skillfully inside the ring of the hat. The headphones connected with a discrete braided wire... way ahead of his time for 1922... Innovations and creative people are what makes this world so great! I love this hobby! -JM
