An early pair of faux tortoise shell celluloid auricles mounted on a  material covered steel headband

The auricles are unmarked and made from early thick celluloid with multiple joints and seams. They are unmarked. The steel headband is covered with a material lining to protect the cold steel coming in contact with the head or skin. The ear piece is formed from an extension to the celluloid.
