Lignum Vitae Conversation Tube
This conversation tube is 44 inches in length with a bell opening of
2.5 inches.
The bell and ear piece are both made of wood which appears to be
lignum vitae, a very dark hard wood grown in the tropics. The tube is
covered with a black silk material.
This conversation tube was purchased in England, and dates from somewhere around 1880.
