This is an odd one. It's a nice light and compact crystal set with a light colored cabinet and crystalline-looking bakelite top panel. It has two removable coils and one is adjustable. With a new crystal added it plays fine. The bottom of the cabinet reads:
ETABLISSEMENTE
RADIO REGULA
APPAREILS RECEPTEURS DE T.S.F
LA REOLE (GIRONDE)
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Nice looking radio. Thanks Titan1a. I wonder what the story was of how it ended-up in America? I've found next to nothing about it or the company on the Net.

If only it could talk. I wish old radios had hard drives to hear all it said again.

You're so right! I contacted European collectors who could tell me very little about the set. So many possibilities as how it got to America.
