This is a set of Cannon-Ball Headphones, made in Springwater NY around 1945. They are common WW2 era headphones often used with crystal radio sets of the day. To me, these are very uncomfortable, but headphones have come a long way since that time :-) From google:
"Cannon-Ball Master" headphones from Springwater, NY, refer to vintage, often antique, headsets made by the C.F. Cannon Co.. These were typically high-quality, military-grade, and designed for radio reception, with "Master" and other model names like "Empire" indicating different versions.
