seller note Antique Victorian Black Brass Ear Trumpet Horn Vintage Hearing Aid London Dome.
A late 19th or early 20th century ear trumpet hearing aid. Black painted brass body with ear piece in some kind of early plastic. I believe this style is known as a ‘London Dome’.
In good vintage condition with no major issues. Black paint has wear and scratches as expected and minor losses. The grill across the opening appears to have slight production flaw in the centre where it doesn’t quite meet up - doesn’t affect anything, mentioning for completeness. Works as expected (i.e. slight amplification to sound). A great addition to your collection of medical instruments. Height: 10.2cm Diameter dome: 4.3cm Height dome: 7.1cm 73.8g
comment I do not have this grille on such a small London Dome and seller reduced the price.
