Old Reciever

In my travels last weekend I visited a museum lighthouse. Really interesting. The light keepers quarters were kept as it was at the turn of the century. In the living room was this old radio. I took a couple photos to share. There was a large speaker attached by wire that sat on the floor and a really interesting open air wound "box" antenna that sat on top of it.
Anyone of you old radio connoisseurs have info to add on this gem?
