Ladies and gentlemen:

Up for grabs is a large morning glory horn for a Victor Talking Machine. It still has the original japan paint and looks swell. Traces of the original gold pinstriping are present. It locks on to my Victor III and looks swell; selling because I found a different style horn.

The good news--it's original, very straight, and should go on a phonograph nicely. Bad news--it's suffering from a few nicks and dings in the paint; I could touch them up but that's for the next owner to decide. The tiny gold decal is gone that tells what year it was patented but there is a spot where it should go. The end where it attaches to the elbow is a little bent but not enough to hurt.

Trade goods accepted include records. Ragtime is an accepted form of currency. like the Peerless Quartet, Conway's Band, Sousa's Band, Fred Van Eps, Vess Ossman, Billy Murray, Felix Arndt--ESPECIALLY if you have Desecration Rag. Oh, and just about anything old and fun to listen to, classical included. Blues, jazz, all kind of fun stuff, whatever.

I don't want any more talking machines in trade but if you have a VV-XX or something we can talk.

Pictures to follow later this afternoon, IF I can find the camera. Until then...



OH BY THE WAY

Here are the pictures as promised. Photos are taken with flash and I've added up the ugliest portions first, then finishing up with a nice presentation "glamour shot." I think it's a pretty horn, just it's up to you whether it's $165 worth of pretty. Remember, free shipping...

Happy inspecting! :D

The paint on the interior is lovely, though it does have some nicks and scratches detracting from the shine.

As you can see, the Nipper decal is in pleasantly presentable condition.

Horn presents well in a room, not a wrinkly mess.
