Crystal sets were the first model of radio receiver marketed to domestic consumers, their greatest popularity coinciding with the introduction of commercial broadcasting in the 1920s.
Though fully assembled crystal radios were available for purchase, many were homemade, such as this example from the mid-1920s.
