Four valve battery receiver

In an oak cabinet with double doors. The doors have inner frames made of coromandel wood. Made by Van der Heem & Bloemsma in The Hague.

The radio is a K.L.m. The small letter "m" means "met deurtjes" (with doors). The same radio was also available without doors: the K.L.z. (see pictures below) The K.L. was introduced together with the A.C. radio K.W.S. at the Jaarbeurs Trade Fair in Utrecht, held from February 27th until March 1st, 1928.
The first advertisement for this radio appeared in Radio Expres on March 23rd of that year. An earlier version of the radio had a different front (smaller tuning knobs with arrows and a white scale).
