A highly unusual and rare musical item dating from 1927. This wonderful piece is a telescopic conductor''s baton with silver mounted hand grip. The baton body is made from machined aluminum and features a deep red painted section to which the silver shaped handgrip is fitted. A round cartouche is found to the top with script initials of ''A.H''. The baton is made up of five sections which when not in use cleverly fold inside each other, reducing the size of the baton to a pocket or handbag sized piece. It is presented with the original leather case and would make a fabulous gift idea or great addition to a collection. Dimensions below.
