This rare disc speaker is in great shape for being 100 years old!

This is a vintage free-edge cone / disc-type loudspeaker from the mid-1920s, produced by Spartan Electric Corp. It features a wooden cabinet (often described as a mantle or table model) enclosing a semi-balanced armature disc unit with an impregnated pulp diaphragm. Designed for use with early battery or AC tube radios, it emphasized both aesthetics and sound quality with a decorative wood enclosure that appealed to consumers of the era.
These were marketed as stylish alternatives to horn speakers, offering improved tone in a compact, furniture-like form. The Model 100 was promoted for its visual appeal and acoustic performance using the free-edge cone technology common in the late 1920s transition period
