Re: Looking for horn crane
I’d settle for any type of table crane, not just this kind. Any leads much appreciated!

Re: Looking for horn crane
A table crane will not properly support a 19" Fireside horn, as the upper crescent-shaped piece lacks the depth to suspend the horn. A table crane with a Fireside horn would also be anachronistic, as those cranes were not offered after 1903 or so.
I'd recommend keeping the Fireside horn on your Gem, and getting a small aftermarket flower horn for your Home. A conventional crane such as the common H&S No.5 or the Tea Tray cranes will work fine for a smaller flower horn (including your Fireside horn).

Re: Looking for horn crane
does the Home have any remnants of an original horn crane like a foot or bottom bracket, top plate, etc.?
