Time Traveler Caught in a 1928 Film?

FWIW, I agree with the more skeptical comments... it's probably a hearing aid, or ice pack, or perhaps a heated stone. But that doesn't mean it's not a time traveler -- after all, common side-effects of frequent time travel include headaches, acute tinnitis, and loss of autonomic thermoregulation of the head and neck area.

Another case of people projecting themselves onto something.

It looks to me like she knew the camera was there and was hiding her face with a handbag. She was probably talking to the man who was walking in front of her, but the frame of the shot prevents verification of that.

if it's a hearing amplifier, then who is she listening too? I don't see anyone next to her and the guy who is walking in front of her is several paces in front. I would think that if my friend had a hearing issue, that I would closer to them and sort of make sure they could hear me. Then the woman stops and looks around, lips moving, and no one near her. I'm not buying into the time travel crap but does look strange and the hearing aid also appears doubtful too.

I had thought it might be a 2 way radio but from what I read, 2 way radios didn't come about until 1928 and they were very large boxes of electronics (tube electronics).
