Description
We think the train conductor used this hand held mini horn to announce train departures? It sounds exactly like a new year's eve party blower. It was bought not far from Paris in Tongeren, Belgium (near Liege) in an antique market. It has a copper mouthpiece and brass body and an engraving that says "Orient Express" framed by "Paris" and "Istambul". There is a place for a string to feed through suggesting it hung on a pocket or around the neck.
