This elegant external speaker for radios, manufactured by Falco, is the Pharaoh model. It stands as a near-classic example of what such speakers commonly looked like in the mid-1920s.

The device features a metal base with openings, where a centrally positioned magnetic block vibrates a flat diaphragm to produce a relatively pure, melodic sound, free of metallic resonance. The sound is further amplified through a flared acoustic conduit shaped like a swan’s neck, crafted from Bakelite—a material widely used for speakers at the time.

It’s fair to say that this well-designed and successful model became one of the brand’s most recognizable products.
