***New In***Two (2) WW2 US Field Telephones - United States EE-8 Type.
Both in superb original condition.
United States EE-8 field telephone from World War 2. The EE-8 field telephone was used by the US Military from 1935 into the Vietnam War. It used a wired line with a maximum transmission distance of 7 miles. The EE-8 uses D cell batteries to power the electric signal that carries the signal through the wire to the other phone. It has a hand-cranked dynamo to generate the charge that rings the phone on the other end of the line. During World War 2, the phone was preferred to the radio, as it was much more reliable than the backpack mounted Walkie-Talkie. The phone line, which could be run through a switchboard from a command centre, was often run by soldiers during combat situations. This telephone comes with its original leather case and straps.
