I saw this in a Lafayette Radio Electronics sale flyer from 1962:

This is like the old school airplane earphones, I love it ! And there is one on Ebay:

BTW, be sure to watch the item before buying, the seller offered me $20 off. I suspect the seller would accept a lower offer.
The price on Ebay is in the ballpark of the 1962 price inflated:
And here is the SH-100 in the 1963 Lafayette catalog (it probably didn't sell):
And the 1963 price inflated:
I looked in the 1964 catalog but Lafayette had dropped Pioneer as a vendor. I didn't see any Pioneer items in the 1963 Allied catalog either.
The follow up product from Pioneer was the SH-P1 but I wasn't able to find a price:

It would have been so cool if there had been a horn, a winding crank and a little statue of a dog with his head cocked to one side :)

.
A megaphone (sorta like a horn) is mentioned at about 24:15 into the video but really, watch the whole thing, it's always worth the time IMO.
