LONE JACK, MO. — Between November 1 and 3, Soulis Auctions presented 514 lots from R.A. Lane’s Midwest Wireless Museum: the 50-year collection of Bob ‘Doc’ Lane. The top lot across all three days was a rare lighted countertop General Electric tone tester point-of-sale demonstration device that pictured six different models of GE radios from 1926 to 1937. In an email, owner Dirk Soulis explained, “By hooking one’s radio to the device, a dealer could demonstrate how the tone (reception quality) of their current model was lacking compared to the tone of newer models.” Offered on November 3 in the auction’s third session: Radios 1930s-1980s, this 1937 tone tester went to an internet bidder for $9,840, including buyer’s premium. Further results from all three days will be featured in an upcoming issue.
