    Red Comet Fire Extinguishers

    Some of those boxes were mounted on the running board of the fire truck.

    Walky Talky

    I don't mean this to sound bad and no disrespect to your girlfriends dad but I am relatively sure that the item is a US Signal Corp battery powered telephone EE-8A. Still a WWII item. It was connected by wires to another phone or a switchboard. Used by forward observers and the like. The...
