MYSTERY HORN

Post by ambrola »

Has anyone seen a horn like this? It is 11 panels and I think it is the bell section of a cygnet horn. It was made this way, and hasn't been tampered with.

It looks too long to be a cygnet. It might be a horn from an old public address or radio system and not phono related.

It looks kind of like the bell section of an Edison Home 11 panel morning glory horn, but those are one piece.

Is there any evidence of a hanger and/or decals?

There is a hanger, but no decals or identifying marks?

Here's a pic of the hanger on my 11 panel Home horn mentioned above. Hope this helps.

To me it looks like a U.S. Junior, Banner or Opera horn.
