This antique brass megaphone is a true gem for collectors of marine memorabilia. Sounds like it came from a steamship operating in the Puget Sound area between WA and Canada. From my families collection of old vintage items. I previously had read about a steamship operating the Mississippi River so not totally sure if it’s origin. Likely made around 1894, so certainly very old and surely rare. How many steamships and life boats were operating back then? The megaphone is perfect for display on a shelf or as a centerpiece in any collection. Crafted by the renowned Straits Steamship Co. This megaphone from lifeboat no. Its unique design and history make it a valuable addition to any collection of marine artifacts. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of history with this antique brass megaphone. Thank you for your interest and understanding.
