Hi, can anyone give me any information on a Carbide Battery Radio from the 1930's? As a child my mother said that her family had a Carbide Battery Radio. They lived in the South, in Appalachia. I asked her what type of radio it was and she stated something like Carbide Light on the miners cap. I cannot locate any information on this type of radio or any pictures. On the 1930 US Federal Census, her grandfather, stated the family had no radio, so they must have acquired the radio after April 1930. Any help appreciated. Thank you, bigdog
