Group,
No dates on this but from the manufacturer's address (Dayton 18, Ohio) I'd
guess late 40's-50's vintage. Cast aluminum center fixture for a coaxial cable
fed dipole, made by Cesco. I think I vaguely recall these or similar units
from my early issues of QST or CQ, or maybe Allied or BA catalogs. Two arms
where the antenna wire enters from each side, a hanging eye on top, and a clamp
and hole at the bottom where the coax enters.
I've probably had it 30-40 years. Unearthed it last week while doing some
shack cleaning. Unused with original instruction card. I wouldn't suggest
actually using it but it would make an appropriate period piece with a 50's
vintage civilian ham gear collection (which I have none of). $15.00 shipped CONUS.
