BONE, BRASS AND STEEL STRIPS. 19th c.

Description:
- Nice line drawing from the second half of the 19th century. It would probably belong to a compass box.
- Three-piece tyraline. The handle, made of bone, is screwed to the body of the reeds, which, in turn, is encased in a cylindrical brass base.
- The base of the handle ends in a beautifully carved miniature ball.
- The body has a brass head and part of the lugs are made of chrome-plated or nickel-plated steel.
- On the tongues, the wheel is fitted with a small plate to ensure a more even pressure on the tongue.
- The tips of the lugs are in good condition. The distance between the tongues is adjusted by means of a brass wheel with a threaded bolt that goes through one of the tongues and is screwed onto the other.
- No distinguishing mark or contrast has been found that could provide information on where it was made, the manufacturer's details, or any other information.
