Hi guys - great response thanks - the earliest I had heard of was the all electric Model 313, so the 1927 one beats that. 1927 was the date of the new factory according to my search's - "In 1926 a private company E.K. Cole Ltd was formed with Verrells as chairman and Cole as vice-chairman. With the extra funding that was raised, the company set up a new factory at Leigh-on-Sea in 1927"
Your right Terry, but I cant find any mention anyplace of a model number. - "Cole and his future wife Muriel Bradshaw started out making radio sets in 1924."
Alan - Lovely looking set (I want one!
) must be just before the move to Bakelite.
I am getting some info together for Havering Museum as they are putting a display of some sets on next week, and I am worried I might have taken on a bit to much - been writing up labels etc for ages (takes about 15/20 mins per label for each set as I don't want to just cut and paste from the internet) and still trying to get a general document together on wireless from 1920!!! I never knew how much I do not know or understand yet
