This one has me stumped. Never seen one before. And what is that little doohickey sticking out of the top of the case? Looks like maybe an attachment point for a whip antenna? Anyway for the price I couldn’t pass it up for the collection.

Yes, 27.175 and I bet it was state of the art back then.
My old black face messenger had a whole 5 channels on tx, but the rx covered all 23+
A deluxe feature!

Its 27.125. Good old channel 14. Maybe it was marketed as communication between the farmhouse and a tractor. Maybe it will have better modulation than my Utica Town and Country 3. NOT! lol.

Im sure it will be a real blaster with this microphone! I’ll put a D104 on it and be the king of channel 14. LMAO.
 
Looks like a tube "walkie talkie" in a bigger box. Based on being channel 14 and a telescoping antenna (probably 60 inches) mount on the top. A rather unusual find!!
