This Buy it Now auction is for some old U.S. Military Vietnam War era items.  There are two ST-138/PRC-25 Backpacks.  These are the canvas harness backpack that portable radios would be carried on during combat conditions.  One has faded markings, and the other has a "11-70" November 1970 date.  Besides the two backpack radio harnesses, there is an  old Radio/Telephone receiver, with another part that has a "C-1632/VIA-4  AMER DEV ELECT CO" marking.  I conducted internet research, and found a couple of web-sights with information.  I show one reference photo with some screen captured information.  One sight had a "NSN" National Stock Number with a "01 JAN 1963" date.  This item is part of an "Intercommunication Station".  I show some photos of the insides of the receiver.  When you unscrew WW2 era phone receivers you can sometimes find date information on the electronic speaker parts.  I didn't see any date information, but did see some stock numbers.  The electronic parts of the receiver do not look all oxidized, or destroyed by time.  However I must say that you should not expect this item to work or be functional.  I have no way of telling if this item still works or not.  Do not expect it to be in working order.  Expect all old electronic items to be broken and non functional.  It is being sold as an old relic collectable only.  It is not being sold as a usable item.  It is no longer in the perfect condition that it once was in the day it was originally manufactured.  It is both damaged from having been used, and damaged from being old.  Time slowly destroys old things.  This item can be mailed in a package around the size of 15 Inches, by 21 Inches, by 10 Inches.
Condition: For Legal reasons, the items in this listing are stated as "Used Condition".  What is a "Used Condition" item?  It is an item that is in "Poor Terrible Condition".  They are better condition than "Dug Relic Condition" items.  Items are no longer like how they were the day they were first manufactured.  Items have been used by someone Decades ago in another Century.  Items will have defects and damage from having been used.  The older something is, the worse the condition will be.  Wool items will have Moth holes.  Expect Moth damage to old wool items.  Expect clothing to have dirt stains, frayed cuffs and collars. Expect there to be Mildew and Mold damage stains.
Expect wrinkles.  Expect buttons to be broken or missing.  Expect zippers to be broken and non functional.  Expect size tags to be missing or damaged.  Expect leather items to be dried out and cracked.  Hats will be crushed and bent out of shape.  Do not expect clothing to fit you, it is not your size.  Expect oxidation and rust on the metal parts.  Expect items to be faded from having been exposed to sun light.  Expect metal items to have dents, scratches, and paint loss.  Expect items to have microscopic fractures when looked at under a microscope.  Expect Electronic items to no longer work or be functional.  These items are old and things slowly get destroyed by time. Please do not expect something in "New Condition", or "Good Condition". These items are in "Used Condition", and are Relics from another Century.  The vintage items I list for sale are not wearable clothing, or usable items. They are sold as old collectibles only.  If you are expecting something that is old and used to still be in nice shape, do not buy this item.  I am trying to be 100% Honest, and Accurately Describe the Crappy Condition of the Old Relics I have for sale.  If you want something that is in nice shape, than go to a store and buy something that is new.  These items are old and damaged from use.
