AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A special set with two speaking-tube whistles and one holder.
These wooden flutes are very rare.
The whistle was used to alert the recipient, for example in the engine room, that a message had arrived, after which one could speak into the speaking tube to convey the message.
A beautiful set that will not look out of place in a maritime collection or for the restoration of old ships.
Photos are part of the description.

The flutes are carefully packaged and shipped registered and insured with a track and trace code.
Also check out my other lots and you may save on shipping.
Not sent to the United States.
