![](/images/457.jpg) | Intercity Marine W. E. | I have little information on this set and hope there is someone who can help me. The tag says "MFG. by Intercity Marine W. E. Co. Inc., Seattle, Washington." The plate underneath the knob says "IMWECO, Seattle, USA." The InterCity-Marine Wireless Electric Company is listed in the 1918
Biennial Report from the Washington State Office of the Secretary of State. They are still listed in the 1925 edition but not after that time.
I believe the case is teak which makes sense if it was to be used on ships. I think it is from the late teens but am not sure. What makes me think that is because the knob is of hard rubber, not bakelite. Also it has a buzzer and push button which was common in the teens. The title of the company ends as W. E. which I'd guess is WIreless Equipment.
