seller note | ANTIQUE VERY OLD COPPER EAR TRUMPET HEARING AID MEDICAL MEGAPHONE CAR HORN HUNTING HORN ? 17 inches(43CM) long and 5.5 Inches (13cm acrooss the bell end) Later added A kind ebayer has informed me that it is infact a speaking trumpet. In the USA called a fireman's trumpet. Historically used originally between sailing ships at sea |
comment | I wanted this speaking trumpet to show the size difference with #199. This larger one works really well ! We see so few around it was good to pick this one up for much less than it is really worth. |
