"Radio Nurse and Guardian Ear"
What the hell is that?

Noguchi...
The "Radio Nurse" was a wireless intercom system introduced by Zenith in 1937 as a baby monitor. It was developed in response to the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby, and the media-circus trial that followed.
The complete system consisted of a receiver, the Radio Nurse, and the transmitter, the Guardian Ear.
Zenith commissioned the Japanese-American artist and designer, Isamu Noguchi, to design the receiver unit. The result was this stylized human nurse's head molded in brown Bakelite. Noguchi explored the notion of the interchangeability of biological and machine forms, and the role of everyday objects as sculpture. The Radio Nurse is quite typical of his work.
Sadly, many of these unique devices were trashed following Pearl Harbor because of the Japanese name on the case. Noguchi, in fact, was a U.S. citizen, born in Los Angeles in 1904, though he lived in Japan from 1907 through 1923. His mother was American.
