Old radio pamphlets!

I bought an Edison Disc phonograph Player (Official Labratory Model #16) from 1919 (very beautiful) and hidden in the bottom were 3 items: "Radio Call Book Directory" by The Reinhard Brothers Company (shows WBZ in Springfield and not in Boston and WNAC at 360 Boston and only one station in Hartford, CT: WDAK.

There’s also two pamphlets by M.B. Sleeper from 1922: "Design of Modern Radio Receiving Sets No.1" and "Six Successful Radio sets No. 4."

They are very cool and not sure what they are worth, but I’ll try to make copies of the radio one especially.

Barry, when I was a kid, about 7 or 8 yrs old,my grandfather retired out of the retail radio and tv business he had owned since the late 1930's. What a shame it was when he cleaned out the store.The whole 3rd floor was full of great old stuff. I saw cathederal radios by the dozen go to the dump. Old console sets that were trade ins for the latest color tv, monitor top 'fridges etc. "if I were only a bit older I would have tried to save the best, but thats the way it goes. It is so cool when you make a find like you did.I have a old Victor record player, a candle stick phone and a few other cool things from there. Enjoy
