Question re Berliner Horns

Post by poodling around »

I am just sat here wondering (as one does) as to whether Berliner horns ever had the actual 'PAT' date stamped on them ?

Thank you as always for any information / help you can give.

Good question

My Canadian Berliner Model A's & B's with the smaller horn do not have the "Pat. pending" stamp, but the Berliner model C with the screw on brass elbow does have the "pat." stamp and the Berliner decal on the 21" horn. The earlier Berliner C with the leather elbow does not have the "pat" stamp.

So I would assume that in the beginning, Berliner Canada used their own horns but later on just used Victor horns and sometimes put the Berliner decal on the horn.

Hope this helps,
Blain
