An early 20th century telescopic ear trumpet in its original crocodile skin etui. A high quality piece which would have been expensive in its day.

This pocket hearing aid was designed to be used in its case which is open at one end allowing sounds to be transmitted through the deco style grill and which accommodates the telescopic ear piece at the other end. The grille is marked “Lutz Ferrando & Co Buenos Aires”.
