Very cool insulator go-with -- A World War 1 vintage military telegraph/telephone set. (two units) This is new old stock and was never used -- in excellent condition. One if the units still has it's original cardboard box (box is pretty brittle and fragile). The leather and workings are in excellent condition! Each unit has a telegraph key, a mouthpiece (microphone) and an ear piece (speaker). There is also a grounding wire to allow a one wire system. See [id=398363549] for another view.

Imprinted on the leather cover is "Service Buzzer, Signal Corps US Army Model 1914". It appears that all the parts (screws, levers, nuts, switches and adjusting tools) are present. Dimensions: 7-1/2" by 5-1/4" by 3-1/2".

Take the pair for $200 plus actual shipping or $120.00 for a single unit.
