Antique Brass Nautical Speaking Tube & whistle for inside ship communication.
The  solid brass or bronze piece is 5-1/2 inches deep (or tall) with  2-3/4 wide tubing.  
The whistle is 3-3/4 inches long and 1-1/2 inches wide.  
Everything is in great shape, the whistle works beautifully.    
Simply a wonderful piece.  
Amazing piece of nautical history. For ships communication prior to electric communication.  Each end of the speaking tube would have the whistle and mouth piece.  To call you remove the whistle and blow which alerts the other end.  They remove the whistle and you use the cupped mouth piece to send your voice and message down the tube.
