| seller note | A military issue Conversation Tube/ Hearing Aid, model number O.L. 38001, made by Eschmann, England. This one is dated Sept 1964, and bears the military broad arrow. The bell and the ear piece are made in black Bakelite and the tube is woven silk covered rubber. The ear piece swivels so that it is simpler to insert without having to adjust the whole unit. The tip unscrews for easy cleaning. Soft flexible rubber tube. In extremely good clean condition, minor usage wear to the bell. |
| comment | I have one. But this item has the name of the maker spelt wrong !! The engraving stops short of the last N. I am probably the only one that cares ! |
