Horn identification and pricing?
The 2 horns below are from a friend who's dad just passed away. He knows I recently started collecting and asked me to check them out. These are the only pictures I have at the moment. My thought process was, offer him $50 for the Morning Glory, but let him know he could get $100-$125 if he were to actively try and sell it. I came up with this price from sales at the Breinigsville, PA auction.(which I bought one at that price) Is that a fair assessment? The Atwater kent horn has no base and I have no clue what those go for. I know it's for a radio, but thought someone on here may have some information on pricing and what to look for. Thanks for your input.
In short, is not liberty the freedom of every person to make full use of his faculties, so long as he does not harm other persons while doing so?

Re: Horn identification and pricing?
The radio horn doesn't have much value as a speaker, The base and driver is the vital part and the part that tends to get lost or thrown away- so there is an oversupply of horns. They are saleable but generally to someone who wants to build some sort of Steampunk contraption.

Thanks estott, I was afraid of that. I'm hoping to give him a range of prices tomorrow and let him decide how he wants to proceed.

The AK horn is worth between. $25.00 and $30.00 sans base in this market.DGPros wrote:Thanks estott, I was afraid of that. I'm hoping to give him a range of prices tomorrow and let him decide how he wants to proceed.
