Convoluted Tin Ear Trumpet

 
A lovely antique ear trumpet made from tin with a copper-wash finish. Although the finish shows signs of wear consistent with its age, the trumpet itself is in perfect condition with no damage or dents. The earpiece is made from ivory and is also in perfect condition. The piece is unsigned and dates to the mid to late 19th century. This appears to be identical in design to the No 22 ear trumpet shown in Rein and Sons catalogue (see photos)
