Atwater Radio Catalog 1927 / Atwater Kent Radio Log (1929)

By: N/A

Price: $28.00

Publisher: Philadelphia, Atwater Kent Manufacturing Company: 1927

Seller ID: 2878

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Good

These two Atwater Kent items came together so, as always, I kept them that way. The catalog isn't perfect, but is tightly bound and clean. Defects include vertical crease on all pages and cover, but I have ironed it flat and put it in the book press. There's a also a tiny corner missing to lower front cover, a part of mailing label on front has been removed, there's a few faint pencil marks on back, and evidence that something was once pasted on top edge of a two page spread (see photo). The radio card log is interesting -- it's completely filled in on both sides and dated 12-25-29.
