Small horn question: Is odd horn an one old?

Post by Skihawx »

Have two horns and trying to decide which one I want to keep. I can tell the gold and black one is an older reproduction. It has a copper end piece. The other clearly has a newer paint job. But it looks really crude and the end piece looks brass. It is also really sloppy around the outer rim. Anyone think it is old or know it is new? I am pretty sure I got it with a Columbia Q parts machine.

The larger horn looks like the end of a cylinder horn either broken or cut off. I would use the repro horn, because it looks better. Save the larger horn in case you get a cylinder horn missing the end.
