Speaking Tube Fittings IT3

Original, quality 19th century fittings for an intercom system often referred to as 'speaking tubes'. These were mainly used in ships but were also used in chauffeur driven cars and the larger households of several floors who maintained staff. This example has a brass mount to connect two extensions and one has the original whistle and mouthpiece turned in rosewood which will unscrew from the brass mount both the brass chain and the forked tube are in the unpolished finish but can be polished to shiny brass on request for no extra cost. All is in good and working order but only a part of the system. The whistle is very loud.
