A striking large brass ear trumpet
circa 1850
signed on the central cartouche "F C Rein Inventor 108 Strand".
The original dark copper-wash finish (which can be seen on the
inside of the bell) has been taken down to reveal the brass dome
which has remained in very good condition. The original grille is
missing and the rests where this would have been secured can be seen
on the inside of the dome. The earpiece is ivory and is fixed.
Dimensions Height 120 mm Diameter 90 mm.
