Rein Celluloid Auricles
This pair of auricles were made by F. C. Rein of
London, the major ear trumpet manufacturer during the 19th
and early 20th century. These auricles were made in the 1910s.
The auricles are signed F. C. Rein, Patentees on the
inside edge of each trumpet.

Each auricle is made in three pieces. In this way they differ
from the three other pairs in the museum which are all of one piece
construction. You can clearly see the two joints (one on each side of
the right angle elbow) in the larger view.
