I was recently hired by The Westport Auction Company to catalog and research an incredible collection of early radio and audio. Charles O’Neil operated Bridgeport’s radio repair shop from 1935 until 1970. He amassed an enormous collection of artifacts that are being offered for the first time. Visit Westport Auction dot com and follow the link there to register to bid.
This is a one-of-a-kind, complete, unpicked collection of 1870s to 1970s radio, audio, early mechanical instruments, and more. Highlights include a circa 1931 Emicon, possibly the first commercially-produced synthesizer, and possibly one of only two surviving examples in the world. There’s a great amount of early Western Electric items, and some fascinating ephemera lots as well.
Check out the catalog at @westportauction, read the terms there, and register to bid. Full disclosure: I am employed by Westport Auction for the auction.
