Phonograph with horn
Circa 1925
When Nicola Tesla first demonstrated wireless radio communication in 1893, the world opened up. By enabling mass communication nationally and internationally, the radio connected families to the larger world from the comfort of their parlors and drew the country together around national events. Tesla's work laid the foundation for later scientists who worked to perfect the audio communication.
This phonograph, which originally belonged to the family of Ralph and Jean Green, is a wonderful addition to the museum collection of radios and musical instruments. It was donated with a box of cylinders.
