Summary
Manual loudhailer in red leather with plated mouth-piece, handle, and rim; made by Anglo-American Rope and Oakum Co., Liverpool. Missing? NOT LEATHER. Possibly impregnated board? Black and gold label reads; 'The "Stentor" Megaphone (Registered No. 218,404). Anglo-American Rope & Oakum Co., Wholesale Agents for the United Kingdom, 2 Strand Street, Liverpool'. 'Wholesale Agents' rather than 'makers' as described in the inventory; so it seems possible that the megaphones were imported from America.
