| seller note | ANTIQUE SILVER EAR TRUMPET VINTAGE MEDICAL HEARING AID JAMES DIXON circa 1890 |
| comment | I felt this would enhance the collection as a probably expensive pinard in it's day. I believe it is plated Brittania metal. Must be after 1879 when 'hallmark' was registered. It is definitely plated the faux hallmarks were common at that time |
