Looking for any information on this manufacturer or other receivers built by them.
I found a Beckley-Ralston catalog for sale on net. Apparently B-R manufactered and/or sold automobile parts in teens and early 20's.
Ring any bells with anyone??

: My Grandfather was president of Beckley-Ralston. I knew thaey manufactured sporting goods and auto parts didn't know about radios. My uncle (his son) did dabble with early radio. The factory was in Chicago. I have old stationary. Beyond that, I know little about the business.

I have an old brass advertisement sign, about 6x10 inches. It got "The Beckley-Ralston Co., Chicago" in the corners, and "for a better running motor, use the Belvidere" at top. "a plug for every motor" on sides, and "Agency for Belvidere spark plugs Motor supplies" along bottom edge. In center, there are pictures and details of 7 different spark plugs, with their part numbers. Looks like something me uncle (deceased) had hanging in his workshop. Would be curious to know if there are any collectors of this type item anywhere, and how to put a value, if any, to it. The plate is done in black background, gold,white print, with red in the B-R logo's.
