An English Faux Tortoise shell
telescopic ear trumpet. 6 ins retracted, 13 ins extended.
Note the slightly irregular
celluloid seams dating this probably to late 19th / early 20th
century. In
excellent condition with no
marks or chips. There is a single small hairline crack on the
earpiece end of the middle section (see pics). I cannot be sure if
it is part of the seam, or an old repair. In either event it is
stable and shows no signs of movement when the joint is stressed and
is of no structural significance |
