Horn Identification Needed

Post by HisMastersVoice »

I've been going through some of my spare parts and found this small horn. Does anybody know what it goes to? It has obviously been re-painted.

Judging by the petals, It looks like a (H&S) Hawthorne and Sheble...

You may want to check out some of their old catalogs to see if you can match it up..

Looks like it belongs to a Standard Model A - it is missing the elbow.

This horn was used on a Columbia front mount Standard X-2. It uses the slightly longer arms to accommodate the horn. This was also used on some of the Columbia front mount client machines. The horn is definitely a Columbia product.

A Standard Model A was a rear mount machine.

Thanks for clarifying that. As you can see the horn shown on the Model A screws on to the elbow. On the first horn shown, you can see the fitting that attaches to the brass front mount elbow. The similarities are the diameter of the horn is 17".

Thanks for the info guys. I kind of thought it looked like a Columbia horn, but I wasn't sure since it wasn't threaded like the one on the Harmony I had. It does appear to be from a Standard X-2.

I should learn not to venture out on these forums as once again I was not even close to a proper id. :oops: Think I best return to my lurking state for another couple of years. Have a good weekend. :D

You knew it was a Columbia product! That's pretty close, I'd say.
