Some homes made in the 1930's had built in antenna and ground. Antennas were usually run into the attic and ground may be to a water pipe.
Radios had two connectors that plugged into the wall. One for AC power and the other antenna/ground.

:Curious about this plug. Mounted on a stewart warner and wired into the antenna coil and chassis. How were these originally used?
