| seller note | Vintage Hearing Aid Conversation Tube Oct 1950. Bakelite hearing aid / speaking tube / ear trumpet with a silk covered flexible tube; 'Oct 1950' on it; an estate find; works as intended, although is missing the earpiece; in total 100 cm long. |
| comment | I don't have one of these - the marking is very interesting, I look forward to examining it. FWA is unknown at this time. EWA could be Eschmann Walsh Associates ? When I finally got an OL380 I discovered that this one has an earpiece that rotates. |
