Another IDIOT Ruins a Horn...

Post by Curt A »

What are people thinking who do this??? Then, after wrecking the item, think that it's somehow valuable... (tearing what hair I have left) :x

I admit it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand, however, we had trouble selling my father's metal horns at auction some months back for much more than $5 - $10 each for many...

(I think I may even remember a buyer mentioning something about lamp shades?! But we just didn't have the room for them. :shock: )

A sad reflection on humanity, but it's all about money. Always has been, always will be.......
Look at all the guys who tear apart perfectly good machines to sell off their parts.

Can't jump to conclusions here. Chances are as we all have seen the solid back piece on those Edison horns has broken off and probably missing.. so just maybe the guy did the horn a favor..

Worst of all, it really doesn't make a very good lamp either.

I used to see them used as funnels for the old John Deers tractors. They weren't in very good shape anymore, but they would be hanging on the side of the fuel tanks.

At least a funnel was useful... :roll:
