I couldn’t find another example of this particular model. It’s a 1919 Signal Corps telephone. Probably had a battery which is missing. There are 2 cables inside and that’s it. Box measures approximately 15 tall. Has some minor wear and a period repair to the front corners. Otherwise the case is very solid. Perfect for your telephone or militaria collection. Within 3 days for auctions. I provide pictures and as much detail as I know. Make sure it’s what you are looking for. Because you will own it.
ORIGINAL 1930’S UNITED STATES ARMY AIR CORPS PILOT WINGS, 3-1/16 INCH SIZE, PIN-BACK. During World War II, with the rise of the Army Air Forces, a second series of aviator badges were issued to include a design that has survived to the modern day. The Pilot Badge was issued in three degrees, including Pilot, Senior Pilot, and Command Pilot. A polished silver colored version of these badges is currently used as the United States Air Force Pilot Badges. From August 1941 to November 1942, the Enlisted Aviator program was restarted. Candidates had to be at least 18, possess a high school diploma, and have graduated at the top of their high school class. Graduates were rated as Flight Staff Sergeants or Flight Technical Sergeants and wore the same pilot’s wings as officers. They were usually assigned to pilots of transport and auxiliary aircraft to free officer pilots to pilot the more prestigious fighters and bombers. Auxiliary pilots received their own special wings to indicate their status and specialty. In November 1942 all enlisted pilots were promoted to Flight Officer rank and enlisted cadets were graded as Flight Officers or Second Lieutenants depending on merit.

ORIGINAL PRE WORLD WAR II THEATER MADE UNITED STATES ARMY – MARINE CORPS COLONEL NAVY CAPTAIN “WAR EAGLES” RANK INSIGNIA, 1-1/2 x 3/4 INCH SIZE, PIN-BACK W/ TIFFANY STYLE LOCKING CATCH. The insignia for a colonel is a silver eagle which is a stylized representation of the eagle dominating the Great Seal of the United States (which is the coat of arms of the United States). As on the Great Seal, the eagle has a U. Shield superimposed on its chest and is holding an olive branch and bundle of arrows in its talons. However, in simplification of the Great Seal image, the insignia lacks the scroll in the eagle’s mouth and the rosette above its head. On the Great Seal, the olive branch is always clutched in the eagle’s right-side talons, while the bundle of arrows is always clutched in the left-side talons. The head of the eagle faces towards the olive branch, rather than the arrows, advocating peace rather than war. As a result, the head of the eagle always faces towards the viewer’s left. Some colonel eagles from the 1920s to the 1950s faced the arrows, though this is no longer done. The full-sized colonel eagle is exactly two inches in diameter from the tips of each wing.
