I don't know much about these kinds of horns, but it might be a good deal for someone.

Looking for one - thanks. Emailed him to see if it has a patent mark.

Patent stamp or not, the bead on the brass bell suggests that this is an original at a decent price...

This isn't that great of a deal. It's one of the fairly common medium size (probably 30") brass bell cylinder horns that typically don't generate a whole lot of interest. He has it priced at just about what it is worth IMO. If it was one of the smaller size original 14" brass bell cylinder horns then the price would be excellent. The reproducer end can just barely be seen in the last picture and it is definitely a cylinder phonograph horn - not for 'victrola machines' as is mentioned by the seller. And it's difficult to see whether the cylindrical connector end is present or has been pinched by the last picture. As with the same seller's Busy Bee disc phonograph on another Craigslist listing, which has a really sweet looking original red horn by the way, he's pricing his items at upper current market value. The Busy Bee looks nice but if it sells at $850 I'll be surprised. $600 - $700 and it will likely sell since the horn is sweet.
