FT243 crystals have pins spaced 1/2 inch apart, and are used in MANY ham radios
made from
the 1940s through 1970s. They are also used in countless military sets such as the BC-611 and GRC-109 etc.
Note - most of these are original FT243 crystals, some may be reworked surplus units with
wire lead crystals inside as described in tube transmitter articles using them in CQ Magazine
and detailed technical analysis in Electric Radio Magazine.

Most of the items above are now available in HC-6/U
and in HC-49/U or HC49/US wire lead holders also.
These cases hold 120 standard FT243 crystals, as used in WW2 era military radios
and the same crystals have been used in ham radio equipment throughout
the past 50-60 years.
It's a nice green, double-locking case with two compartments that each hold 60 crystals.
Ideal for storing your radio crystals and keeping them from getting lost when you are
not on the air, or they also make a great collectible item.
I currently have one of these left for sale. They go for around $45 to $100 each on eBay.
This is available for $35.00 - for a nice, complete one.
Will sell for $35 plus shipping.
