Original cable storage box for theFernbesprechungsgerät which was a radio accessory. Some of the internal clips and the cable spike have been broken off, probably to make it more functional as a box. This is a very sturdy box, very heavy. Still has decent original paint. dated 1940. Just a good box for things.A big chunk of the price of this is just to cover shipping, both me getting back here from Europe and to partly cover the cost of shipping because it does qualify for free shipping on the website. It really is very heavy. I'm not the one making money on this one, its mostly just the post office.
