Well, in the 20's and 30's there were still many rural areas without electricity, so a crystal radio would have certainly been the cat whisker's meow. Many battery radios were sold back then too. Used to see a lot of retired units when I was a kid. The knob on the Zenith was probably for tuning or peaking.
