Hey guy's,
sorry for the title, but I need some help to identify and name those "things" I have just found....
By who and where were they used.
Thanks for your help!!

Looks like they would have been used by telephone switchboard operaters?

I couldn't tell, one set is missing a headphone, but apparantly the ear phones were held by some sort of straps.
Looks to me like it was more in use in action; tanks , artillery reconnaissance of some sort....

allo allo, Herr Flick of the Gestapo might know the answer.

i was going to say it might have been Lieutenant Hubert Grubers armoured car headphones (but thats just silly )
on a serious note i think it would have been telophone switchboard as the mouth think looks to have a strap that goes round the neck and dangles on the chest

Hey Tom,

great reply!! We are almost there!!
Finding a front view of such a operator would help....
As the speaker and the ear-phone are attached to one an other on my set.
cheers
