Bigdog,
Sorry to hear of your mother's passing. How great to have heard those stories while you still could.
As you can see from the Philco gallery, there were a lot of radios made for battery power only back then. I wish you luck tracking down one like your mother would have had.
There might have been electric miner's lamps back then, too. Maybe there were some that used a battery like the large, low voltage A battery of a radio.
