eBay of the day: Megaphone Helmets

Just look at the picture. There's really nothing more to say. A pair of immeasurably awesome megaphone hats from the 1950s. Includes a pair of shoulder-mounted battery packs which can also be used to transmit morse code through the hats. Ebay item #6045938976, 5 days to go, £45 starting bid. Awesome. (Thanks Richard)

the ad states: "THIS SAME PAIR WAS USED BY MANCHESTER BAND THE HAPPY MONDAYS FOR A PROMO VIDEO" So, they are somewhat famous.

Tannoy used to make an item that they actually called "The Shouting Hat".
Same idea but with a little boom mic.
