30DodgePanel Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) This is probably an easy one for some folks. Is this a hand held microphone to contact the driver of a 1930s Packard? Pretty high tech for the time if it is... Edited January 27 by 30DodgePanel (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 very interesting to see in a period photo "in place" most of the microphones were connected to a wire cord to convey the commands on where to proceed. thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdome Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 My 35 Cadillac Fleetwood has the microphone element built into the post between the rear door and quarter window. There is an ivory push button below it. Speaker above driver's head. I have seen early brass era limos that were a hose with a trumpet like funnel at each end.
