Would anyone know anything about this piece. Its a Detrola pre WW2. I cant find any info on it or what something like this is worth. Everything works and has never been touched up.

That's really cool! Might wipe a coat of oil or poly on it to bring out the grain and make it shine.

My experience with old radios like this is they are generally not worth a whole lot of money, although some are rare. It's a great hobby to get into because they are collectable but not terribly expensive (yet). Just think, someone listened to history unfold through that radio!
