seller note | ANTIQUE BRASS HEARING HORN / EAR TRUMPET BY WALB, HEIDELBERG, GERMANY, 19th Cen. (Wilhelm Walb Nachfolger was a Heidelberg based company dealing in medical instruments from c. 1880 onwards) |
comment | I have not seen a trumpet by Walb before. I do have another very similar which is un marked. Comparing them will be interesting. Any way up it is a big traditionally shaped item ! |
