Victoreen Models 247 A and 247B Ion Chambers (around 1945-1955) WW2 era vintage item. The Model 247 was designed as a more rugged, waterproof version of Victoreen’s first ion chamber survey meter, the “little black suitcase.”  It was developed and produced in large quantities during World War II as part of the highly secret Operation Peppermint.  Operation Peppermint’s mission was to counter the potential use of radioactive materials by the Germans against the Allied invasion of Europe. Fortunately, radioactive material was not employed by the Germans and the instruments were not needed.
