Here's an old circa WW1 radio antenna assembly complete with 4 colorful baby porcelain egg strains- 2 olive greens, one bright green and a scarce turquoise blue. Three strains are woven together with hemp fibers. These were used in Germany's mobile telegraph battalions for quick assembly of radio antennas. Each egg measures 1 1/2" long. The assembly is 15" long. Excellent condition with no chips! The white spot on the turquoise is where glaze did not adhere to the porcelain and is not damage.

First email gets it for only $100 shipped. Thanks!
