Original U.S. WWII Army Field Telephone Model EE-8 with Leather Carry Case

Original Item: Only One Available. The EE-8 phone was the standard field telephone during the Second World War and the Korean conflict, and was used extensively in the War in Vietnam. These phones have been very hard to find on the collector market. You merely have to provide two D-cell batteries and connecting wire.

This example comes in its original leather case.

The case is stamped-

SIGNAL CORPS U.S. ARMY
TELEPHONE EE-8-B
SIG11-333-1
M.F.P.
JULY 1945
PSD

Takes 2 (present day) D-Cell Batteries. Can be hooked up to your own home phone system to take regular incoming calls. Unfortunately, you cannot dial out.

Remember Robert Micham or John Wayne in a hole shouting over the shellfire into one of these units and when finished they never "hung it up" they just stuffed the handset back into the carrier? Well, now we know why!

A fabulous reminder of U.S. WW2 battle history recently released from European Military Stores after 50+ years of storage. Comes ready to display.
