what are these?

Can anyone here identify these?... they came out of a Fisher console stereo. I have a fairly extensive EIA Codes list but the numbers don't match any that are on the list.
thanks for any feedback

One has rubber grommets around the mounting holes and one doesn't. What's up with that?

[rs237]

In old tube radios these loudspeakers were swinging hung up by means of the grommets. Actually both loudspeakers should possess such grommets. These are however only put in and are lost therefore easily. The whole Holzgehäuse of the radio served as resonance body. A firmly bolted loudspeaker would have obstructed this.

i hope you understand this, its from online-translater

For info everyone

Dome:.... The reason is ...that driver was on the side under the phonogragh. oil or some kind of fluid had traveled (over the years) down the baffel and seeped into the rubber grommets causing them to become a sticky, messy mush. I wiped it clean with a little acetone. Thankfully the "fluid" didn't ever reach the cone surface on the inside of the speaker.

thanks.. you guys in Germany:)
