[Milsurplus] Mystery Item

[Kees & Sandy]

I don't know. The AB-15s I've seen have one step in the mast section and a coax connector on the bottom. This one has two ? steps and something on the end and on the bottom ....can't make it out. Fair Radio sells AB-15s for $8 and has the mast sections also for $3.50 each. Nice "wup" for a Jeep.

Antenna Mast Base AB-15/GR.  First introduced in late 1943 for use with the 
20-39 MC FM sets.  Remained in service at least through the Korean War and into 
the 60's with later vintage radios.  If you look carefully at the metal tube 
toward the right end of your photograph, you should find the nomenclature and 
sometimes the contractor's name engraved or stamped.
