I have what appears to be a vintage crystal radio, made by Victor. One of the meters on the front of it has a patent date from 1906. I am posting a link for some photos of it. Any help will be appreciated. http://s363.photobucket.com/albums/oo79/greatday_2008/

That's really cool. I see the Victor logo on it too. This pre-dates RCA's aquisition of Victor by as much as a couple decades. I am wondering if it might have been a military radio.
I had posted this on another forum as well. On the other site a person had correctly identified it as an Electro-Therapeutic Wall Cabinet, minus the cabinet. It was used from 1905 - 1920. It really makes for an interesting discussion topic. I included a link to The Bakken Library and Museum where there is one on display. If I'm correct, it was used for cauterizing through inducted heat.
