The vast majority of radios in the 1930s were very large console radios. They had heavy wooden cabinets and looked like furniture.
But they did also have portable battery operated radios too. They used a 1.5V dry cell to power the tube filaments and a 45V to 150V dry battery to power the tube plates. These batteries alone might weigh 1 to 2 pounds, so although the radios were portable they were not light weight. Also as these radios used fewer tubes than the console radios did, they usually had lower sensitivity, selectivity, and "extra features" so could not pick up as many stations or receive as many bands or produce as good sound or support "magic eye" tuning, etc.
