Telegraph set TG-5-B

[a6skin9]

Due to moving around so much and living in small houses 99% of my collection must be housed in a storage unit (for the last 6 years now). Over the last few months I have been digging through the collection trying to achieve a 100% inventory and photograph each and every item, this will probably take me into next year. The nice thing about it is that I get to rediscover some cool stuff and spent some time amongst my "babies". So with that said here are few telegraph related items.
TG-5-B telegraph set, Designed at signal corps laboratories Fort Monmouth New Jesery; Serial No. 1730; Order No. 11384-Phila-42; Made by The Allen D. Cardwell Mfg. Corp. Brooklyn, New York with carrying case C5-49-A

Fleron Signalor for instruction in codes and blinker signaling. Take two flashlight batteries and when you depress the key the light lights up and it makes a beeping noise. This one was used by the Navy for training.

Fleron Signalor box set that held two units (which were unfortunately missing).

It's always fun to redescover stuff long buried.

Those are neat.

Thanks,

I've always liked telegraph gear. You have some interesting pieces !

Anybody know where I might could find one of the CS-49-A carrying cases for my TG-5-B ?? I've had the set for years and I'd love to have the bag too.

I have never seen a carrying bag for sale without the TG unit included, but you might find one if you are persistent.

 

They are neat sets.
