| seller note | A quantity of collectors' items comprising a late 19th century tin, an extending ear trumpet with pierced and domed end, length 53cm |
| comment | This trumpet is very long and the grille is unusual for a large dome. I have a London Dome with this grille. All I need now is the maker ! Based on their 1892 catalogue I have assigned Down |
