The ornament is kind of cool, in a cheesy way

That's what I thought when my sister returned from Scotland with
this piece. Cheesy, but look at the detail on the back: a battery
labelled Eveready, and "aerial" and "earth" inscribed on the back
cover where virtually no one would bother looking.

No inscription on the ones in my possession either.

None the less, they are a fascinating bit of technological magic!
The stations tune like on a regular radio, there is even "splatter"
when slightly off frequency, and the "static" on blank portions of
the dial is pretty realistic. It certainly acts like a real radio would!
