The Radiola UZ-1325 loudspeaker was manufactured by the Radio Corporation of American and utilized a horn manufactured by the Miller Rubber Company (as did all of the upright horns manufactured by RCA). The UZ-1325 was introduced for the 1924 Christmas season and was the last horn marketed by RCA; by the end of 1926, RCA stopped selling horn speakers and moved entirely to cone type speakers.
This rubber radio speaker horn stands approximately 23.25” with a 12” bell (the whole piece is 26” tall x 12” wide x 10.5” deep) with its original metal label. The base is made from a salvaged pine beam and finished with Betty’s Board Butter (Beeswax & mineral oil.) You may wish to re-oil your base occasionally. If your phone has stereo options you may want to play around with mono and stereo settings to see which you prefer.
Please let us know if you have a plus sized phone.
