A Bit of History:

Atwater Kent was one of the most influential names in early American radio. Founded by inventor Arthur Atwater Kent, the company became famous in the 1920s and early 1930s for producing high-quality radios known for their reliability and elegant design.

• The Model 47, introduced in 1928, was among their popular AC-powered table models during the transition from battery to household current.

• The brass name plate served as both a functional identification plate and a badge of quality, proudly displayed on the radio’s wooden cabinet.

Collectors prize original Atwater Kent components because they represent the golden age of early radio broadcasting—when families would gather around these sets to hear news, music, and shows during the dawn of the radio era.

Why This Piece Stands Out:

Original name plates are often missing or damaged after nearly a century. This one retains its original finish and vintage character—making it ideal for:

• Authentic restorations of the Model 47 or similar Atwater Kent sets

• Framing or shadow box display as a piece of broadcasting history

• A thoughtful gift for vintage radio enthusiasts

Don’t miss this chance to own an authentic piece of 1920s Atwater Kent radio heritage. These original brass badges rarely come up for sale in such collectible condition.
