Pocket Post Horn in G 1875 - 1885

The "Pocket Post Horn in G" is a small, coiled brass instrument created sometime between 1875 and 1885. This pocket-sized horn is a prime example of 19th-century craftsmanship and ingenuity. It features a distinct bell shape at the end and a spiral coil designed to compact the instrument. The horn was created by the Italian instrument maker Giuseppe Pelitti, who was known for his work in brass instruments. Today, the "Pocket Post Horn in G" is a part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
