This thinking man’s collection documents the history of commercial radio in America, 1908 to 1980. It includes Pre-WWI avionics, rare early crystal sets, large breadboard models, hard-to-find cathedral and cabinet models, Bakelite, Catalin and mirrored models styled by American industrial designers, additional 1930s rarities like comic character models and sets in cabinets with a World’s Fair theme, hundreds of transistor radios including the early and the rare – and much more.

Collateral collections include rare early tubes, microphones, horn speakers, amplifiers, and many rarely-seen examples of lighted, reverse-painted, porcelain enamel, tin and neon signs as well as lighted clocks advertising radios, tubes and televisions 1920 to 1970. Plus, there’s a collection of scarce die-cut cardboard signs and related ephemera.

‘Doc Lane’, as he was known to many around the Midwest, was a consummate collector and a wealth of knowledge. As a co-founder of the Mid-America Antique Radio Club in 1974, he was always eager to share his knowledge and support the hobby he loved.
