Atwater Kent Antique Radios


Atwater Kent Radios was established by Arthur Atwater Kent. He started the company in 1895 as a manufacturer of car related parts. It was only in 1902 that the company opted to expand to electrical parts and radios. Through his efforts, the company became one of the biggest manufacturers in the country. His radios are thought to be one of the most sought after radios during the 20s. This was due to fierce advertising which has cost him at least $500,000.  The success of his radio has also prompted Kent to start a popular radio show, the Atwater Kent Hour, during the later years of the 20s. Unfortunately, Depression has caught up with the company and Atwater Kent radios were only manufactured until 1937.
