kphfun Posted November 25, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 25, 2009 I picked this up last weekend and just was trying to find out if they were used by the military at all, they are marked on both sides ""CANNONBALL DIXIE G.F. CANNON CO. Springwriter N.Y. U.S.A." .. Thanks, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hudson Posted November 25, 2009 Share #5 Posted November 25, 2009 The little metal tips on each wire are a clue that these were used for crystal radio sets - they did not have a headphone jack, but rather two clips to hold each tip: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kphfun Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks FS.. What would you place the date on them? Do I have a chance of making my 5 bucks back? LOL...

Bob Hudson Posted November 25, 2009 Share #7 Posted November 25, 2009 On a good day you can get maybe 12 bucks for a pair. They are from the 1920's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
