Looking on the web, the RMS stands for Radio Merchandise Sales, Inc. Also, saw another antenna from them that looks to be made from bakelite. So, I guess it might be from the 50's. Sure looks like a 30's product.

The slot is square on the back. Almost looks like a slot for the twin lead to pass thru, tho the wire is currently coming directly out of the unit.

Try it for OTA digital TV.

Since most of the over the air digital TV is on the UHF band, try and hook it up to a digital TV and set the tuner to "ANT" and try scanning for stations.

It may not be optimal for all TV channels, but it might surprise you! :scratch2:

No performance promises here, just another way to try out your "Antique" antenna!

View attachment 413734I found this old radio antenna at a local flea market. I was looking for an antenna for fm stereo. Wondered if anybody has seen one like it before. It is so cool. Not interested in selling it, just wonderin.

I have this one, use it with my tuner.
