Two boxed 19th century faux tortoise shell celluloid auricles. The oval shaped carton reads: " Multi-Audiphone deafness overcome price $5. Dr F M Blodgett No 1286 Broadway New York City ". On the back of the box is a receipt for one of the auricles to Mrs B Dagget of Bristol dated Feb 27 1872. The auricles themselves have an attractive organic art nouveau design and are marked " Multi-Audiphone Dr F M Blodgett New York Patented April 8 1890 " 2L and 2R on either piece denote the size and side. There is some degeneration in one of the auricles which is not uncommon in celluloid of this age. Each one measures 120 x 45 x 40 mm.
