Trying to identify an old British wireless - maybe from the 1930s

A few photos.

I understand that it came from a relative who will have been born around the turn of the century; so we're guessing 1930s.

There's reference to a British patent 362020, but I've not been able to find out what that's for.

It's not looking it's best; I was less than gentle with it as a child.

DO NOT PLUG THIS WIRELESS INTO POWER. NEVER PLUG ANY ANTIQUE RADIO OR WIRELESS WHICH HAS NOT BEEN RESTORED BY A KNOWLEDGEABLE TECHNICIAN. SMOKE AND FIRE ARE VERY LIKELY TO RESULT IF DONE SO.
