Rectangular brown leather field telephone case with shoulder strap, snap closure, and crank handle on the right-hand side. Inside the case sits a black metal telephone unit with bakelite handset, which connects via a brown fabric-covered three-wire cord.
The internal components include control dials labeled REC, SEND, and REMOVE BATTERIES WHEN NOT IN USE. The wiring is visible and corroded, and the wire insulation is cracked with age.
This model, known as the EE-8-B, was the standard issue portable field telephone for the U.S. Army during the Second World War. It was used for point-to-point voice communication over field lines, typically carried by infantry signal operators.
