Dunninger, Joseph. Fiber spirit trumpet owned by Joseph Dunninger. Conical fiber board device used by spirit mediums to “contact the dead,” and through which spirits could apparently speak to those in the living world. Partially collapses. 29 ¾” high. Wear evident, but good condition. With a letter of provenance.Spirit trumpets made of metal are more often encountered than those made of heavy cardstock, like the one offered here; the metal trumpets withstood more use and wear.
