A crystal radio set including a base and headphones. The black base consists of a wood block, metal elements on top, and tape wrapped around the sides. Engravings on three of the metal components read "AHWESTOC [?]" and "..APR230 | CAMNESTOCK [?]". The headphones have two cloth bands that connect silver and black earcups. Extending cords are covered with fabric and exhibit some fraying. "TRADE PAL MARK | PAT.PENDING | MADE IN U.S.A." is impressed on the back of each earcup. Some parts may be missing, and age and wear are visible.
