| seller note | A Victorian plated ear trumpet by F.C. Rein & Son, the bell and tube with foliate engraved decoration and pierced scroll grille, engraved inscription around side 'F.C Rein & Son Patentees, Sole Inventors & Only Makers, 30 Charing Cross Road, London', length 10.1cm (missing earpiece and plating worn). |
| comment | Nice Rein dome of unusual shape. Although bulkier I feel this may be the result of experimentation. The foliate engraving is just lovely. Again the auctioneer got the date wrong, Victorian can't be 30 Charing X !! |
