Holy crap, I didn't even realize that was used in the movie! Never paid close attention to this scene. These were sold at Radio Shack, I bought one back in maybe '98 for an art project I was tinkering with. I think it's still sitting in one of my tool boxes. That's so cool, thanks for pointing this out!

I know where they are in Star Wars, but what the hell is the original source?!

Yeah I knew they were in Obi wans hut, I was curious of the original prop, what it’s used for
Get the heck out!!! I would have never guessed it was a old school hearing aid!!! Wow!!!!
Dude I thought they were some kind of European coffee brewer

I actually guessed. The first thing I thought was they looked like some sort of middle eastern coffee decanter. But then I thought you would probably want a handle for some like that. I noticed how the twists in the horn looked like an antique hearing device so I did a quick google search for antique hearing device and came up with that image.
Very clever!!

Well done MJF, you has wins an internets, but please do not type 'Google' into Google - it will break 
Yea, two types of basic 'London Dome Ear Trumpet' circa 1880, possibly upto 1950. Obscure? A little bit odd maybe as Ben could well be a tad hearing impaired. It looks like the Force doesn't cover ear-drums!

Bump. Any further nominations for most obscure prop?

The Corellian manufacturers love their 'in-YT' entertainment systems, here's the rear-side of a Weltron 2005 or 2007 outer shell. The tape player and turntable appear to have been removed as the upper and lower sections sit very close together. I think it's only seen in this position during this scene - deff a bit odd.

Where can I find this part? Or do I have to custom machine it?

I got something for you but it’s really not what I call a true answer. The 6” scale snow speeder is hitting the market and YouTube videos are showing up with details about the product.
The craft comes with the grenades. There are two removable grenades that can be stored inside the cockpit. There are other grenades in the cockpit but they are not removable.
These grenades look to be the details you see on the side of Luke inside the cockpit. However as you can see that those items do not look like the same thing Luke throws. I think that this is Hasbro just making some assumptions rather than having correct information. sometimes these things catch on. So who knows, you might see someone try to make a Hasbro version of the Hoth grenade into 1:1 Prop replicas.
