Black Brass London Dome Ear Trumpet (Ear Horn)
This black brass London dome is of average size. The ear tip is hard
rubber (gutta percha).
The manufacturer and date of manufacture is unknown, but it was probably
produced somewhere around
1900.
This style of trumpet was named because of its similarity in shape to
the dome on St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, England.
The design is a parabolic reflector into an ear tube which achieves
considerable gain while maintaining a small size.
The dome of this ear trumpet is 3⅝" high and measures 2⅜" across the open
end. The overall height of this ear trumpet is 4⅞".
