I actually saw this and was tempted to ask about the horn. Does this horn color have any authenticity? I found a similar one in yellow, but it also looks like a repaint

I was going to reply with a resounding NO but Cygnet horns were available in colors other than black in other countries. But yellow?

I don't think the cygnets in other countries had flowers on them, but it struck me the the flowers on both horns were place in the same way, which leads me to beleive that they are somehow connected.

The Standard F shown would have to be refinished again, and the horn repainted. Also, the reproducer should be a Model S. The top could be over the carriage, and the bottom would fit into the carriage. . This reproducer would either be a Model C, H, or K.
However this is a scarce machine and seldom found. The flaws are minor would would be a good project.
