About the Item

Title: 1930s Lewis Bros. Limited Detailed Radio Station Map of the United States and Canada – AM Stations, Call Signs, Frequencies, Vintage Advertising Detailed Description: This vintage radio map was published in the 1930s as an advertising piece for Lewis Bros. Limited, a prominent hardware wholesaler in Montreal, Canada. The map is designed to assist in locating hundreds of AM radio stations across the United States and southern Canada, making it both a practical tool and a collector’s item for radio enthusiasts of the era. The inclusion of Cuba and Mexico on the map, along with the accompanying list, is significant because it expands the scope of the map beyond just the United States and Canada. This additional list likely details AM radio stations located in Cuba and Mexico, providing call signs, frequencies, and station locations in the same way as for the U.S. and Canada. The map was intended to help users locate a broad range of radio stations across North America, not just within the U.S. and Canada. The radio wave propagation patterns of AM stations allowed for long-distance listening, and stations from Cuba and Mexico were often received in parts of the U.S., especially at night when signal strength was enhanced. Including these stations made the map more comprehensive for radio enthusiasts, broadcasters, and hobbyists who wanted to tune into as many stations as possible. The index or list next to these regions serves as a quick reference guide to identify the specific AM stations, just like the lists for U.S. and Canadian stations. It would include: - Call signs (unique station identifiers), - Frequencies (measured in kHz), - Locations of the stations (cities or regions). Including Cuba and Mexico recognizes their influence and importance in early radio broadcasting within the broader North American context. The map features: - A comprehensive list of radio stations with their call signs, frequencies, and locations. - A detailed representation of U.S. and Canadian territories, showing state borders, key cities, and topographical elements. - Red overprinting that highlights the various time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern) and stations on the map. - An inset map of North America for a broader geographic perspective, with red lines indicating radio transmission ranges. - Extensive station listings along the sides and bottom of the map, printed in a clear, readable font. - A blank verso, indicating it was likely designed as a poster or display piece. The map measures approximately [include dimensions if available] and is printed on high-quality, durable paper. It includes promotional content such as "Compliments of Lewis Bros. Limited Département de Radio, Montreal," and offers a unique blend of advertising history and broadcasting heritage. This rare and highly collectible piece provides a snapshot of the radio boom in the early 20th century and is perfect for collectors of vintage maps, advertising memorabilia, or radio history.
