Bizarre. I don't know if it is for real or something cobbled up from assorted odds and ends.

Are we sure it isn't an exhaust manifold?

That is indeed a rare part. It's from a U-S Phonograph Company machine.

Here's one. A very strange reproducer set up as well.

Re: Bizarre external horn tone-arm and horn receiver...
Yes, it's perfectly legit! It looks like it's from a "Lakeside" machine sold by Montgomery Ward, circa 1911. It was coupled to a double-diaphragm reproducer to play either 4 or 2-minute cylinders. Described in The Taking Machine Illustrated Compendium Book, page 187!

'Lakeside' cylinder phonos were re-branded U-S machines.

Was that ridged section of the tone-arm flexible? Looks like it might be.
