Imperial
1926
Imperial Radio Laboratories,
201 South Columbia Street,
Union City, Indiana USA

    1926 was the first year the Imperial Radio Laboratories offered a radio to the public. That radio was called the Imperial and that name would also be used in their 1927 model which was also a three dial set but it featured only two filament adjustments and gold panel stenciling.  I acquired this set, in April of 2000, from an antique shop located on main street in Fairmount, Indiana.
