Faux tortoise-shell Ear Trumpet by Harrys Paris

 

A very beautiful ear trumpet from the turn of the century made from early celluloid in faux tortoise-shell pattern. It is of the London Dome style with a removable (by design) telescopic ear piece which extends and rotates. The earpiece extension has been coloured to mimic the tortoise shell. The early celluloid earpiece is also in the same pattern and it unscrews with a nice tight thread.

Superb condition. Trumpet dimensions 80 mm x 115 mm (retracted
