I agree- the condition is not good but the shape is interesting- worth at least cleaning up if it is really cheap.

Thanks everyone for all of the opinions.
George,
You are absolutely right.
I have that book and should have looked in it first before posting.
I am tempted to pick it up for $50 and try to clean and wax the inside.
Harvey, I lack discipline! :lol:

Well, I got the wrong horn, AND the wrong manufacturer...

This is from the July 1907 Talking Machine World...

I don't know what that horn is, but I still like it!

Sorry it took so long for me to check the information. We were out celebrating our anniversary. Here's what we were doing 38 years ago today... :)

George,
Congratulations on a wonderful milestone!
Great wedding picture.
You look just a little bit like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.

You should see me dance; I taught John everything he knows... ;)

John was born a day before me, so he's kind of a broken-down old guy.

Great photo, George! I got married exactly 13 days before you. I looked like much more of an idiot in my wedding photos. :D

Congrats on a big milestone. 38 years is a long time, as I can vouch. Would that all marriages were so strong. Nice to have you in this exclusive club. ;)

So George has a big smile on his face. Is it because he just got married or because he scored a $50 Berliner the day before and he just can wait to get home to see it..???.... :lol: :lol: :lol:. Congrats on your big milestone George.
We are at 25.
BTW, I still think the horn is a variant by that company. I assume they offered more than one style.... ;). If not, still a very uncommon form.

Come on Rene...
You have to post a wedding day picture too!
Did you wear the same style bell-bottoms as George?
Maybe we can start a long-running thread of wedding day photos. :lol:
I am only at 23 years of marriage , so I guess a newbie compared to you and George.
