Tudor Metal Products Corp. Walkie-Talkie “Gung Ho Combat Phone” *SOLD*
Tudor Metal Products Corp. Walkie-Talkie “Gung Ho Combat Phone”
This is a vintage cardboard and pressboard “Gung Ho Combat Phone” walkie-talkie that was manufactured by Tudor Metal Products Corp. of New York.
This presumably works like the old Campbell’s soup can and string phone/walkie-walkies, but a bit fancier and military-themed. This is made of heavy cardboard or pressboard material with a paper veneer. It comes complete with all of its original parts.
This piece is in great all original condition with no breaks, restorations, repairs, or touch-ups. This piece shows the usual patina, fading, dust, chips, scuffs, surface rust, scratches, missing accessories, and wear that are to be expected from age and play. This is approximately 12 ¼” H (main unit) and 5 ¾” L (“micro-fone”/microphone). We invite you to view the photos to further determine quality and condition.
