Pair of silver gilt ear tubes, in case, marked
Ear cornets did not amplify sound like a hearing aid. They sat inside the ear of someone with a collapsed ear canal. The device opened the canal to allow sound waves to pass through. These tiny ear cornets are made of gilt silver. They sit in a hinged presentation box.
