Silver telescopic ear trumpet hearing aid, in three sections, Dublin, 1829

The marked initials of 'WN' found on this telescopic ear trumpet suggest it was probably produced by William Nolan, a silversmith working in Dublin in the early 19th century who mainly made coffe pots, tea services and other domestic ware.
