One of Waugh’s ear trumpets sold at auction earlier this week. The hammer price was £2,200. Thanks to Rich Oram, who is suffering non-bidder’s regret, for passing this along.

The ear trumpet was acquired by the Somerset Museums Service (South West Heritage Trust) and will be displayed in the county where Waugh lived his final years.
Thanks for the information. Do you have other Waughiana on exhibit? Perhaps we could post the Museum’s contact and location information on the website.
