I think Edison produced several different sizes and styles for the different models over the years. (They may not be from the same one.)soundgen wrote:It doesn't look quite the same as this one

The first one is from a larger 250 model machine (you can even see the Duncan Stop wires hanging there). The second one is likely a 100 or 150 size, so it's smaller.

Yes 250 size horn, with Duncan stop wire, that means the reproducer has the special insulation, when the reproducer gets to the end of the record, and the limit pin hits the side of the reproducer, it makes an electrical circuit causing the coils in the Duncan auto stop to release the brake, these had a battery in the motor compartment. The horn mounting frame is missing, however, The solder must have given way.
