I have an old old radio here that i want to sell.  There is not name, model number or nuttin!  Front panel is not wood, something like pegboard but noot with the holes in it.  The so called chassis is a piece of wooden board that  looks like it has been painted but the bottom has not.  Now does that sound like some sort of homebrew job?  I'm not up on old 20's and before radios so have no idea what this thing would be.  Anyway to find out?  

Abut all i can supply is a couple of pictures of it if someone wants to take a shot at it.  Front panel is warped and cracked but knobs appear in good shape.  Has a pair of nice sized brass capacitors.  Uses 8 tubes, 5 big ones and 2 smaller types.  No numbers visible anywhere.  Point to point wiring with rigid wire.  A volt meter on the front panel.  Had a Burgess battery still setting in it that had not come apart but the wires going to the radio had been disconnected.
