| seller note | A tortoiseshell ear trumpet, probably Edwardian, with moulded earpiece, 29cm long |
| comment | This soared in price at auction to 3 times the high estimate. I am still wondering why. It is very rare and has a few minor chips. A logical design and often seen in catalogues in metal. |
