Here's a 2846-B Maritime Receiving Set manufactured in the late teens by Marconi's Telegraph Co of London and Montreal. This is a very rare radio, even by wartime Marconi standards, and not much is known about it (at least not by me), but as you can see from the photographs, it's ruggedly built and beautifully designed, with enormous cylindrical tuning coils, a large rectangular variometer, and a "see saw" style detector arm that can be rotated over the surfaces of four different crystals.
Condition is very good throughout, and the radio appears to be original throughout. The cabinet retains its original back, base and brass mounting flanges, and all parts appear be factory original.
Radio measures approximately 16" wide x 11" high x 11" deep. Shipping weight approximately 35 lb.
I'm one of 's best known, most highly regarded sellers of antique radios, and I specialize in radios from the teens and twenties.I've been sellingand shippingthem for more than 25 years. When you purchase an antique radio from me, you'll receive a radio that arrives safely because it's been carefully packed (byme, not by some well-intentioned but nonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store who wouldn't know a phonograph from a farm tool), Sure, you can probably get a lower price from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your "bargain" arrives broken, and without any hint of how you might be able to put it back together, you'll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.
