Question about Edison Triumph Cygnet wood horn

[blau28]

Jerry,

More photos of the horn's exterior. As you described, it doesn't look like a Victor horn.

Thanks

Hello,.
Now I am thinking that this is a cut down Columbia Spear tip horn.

Thank you for the information. After a closer inspection, I deducter that if somebody cuts a Victor horn, was done many years ago because look like old. Few pictures more...

Well, the fittings are obviously original Cygnet equipment - but they could have been attached to the horn at any time.

blau, are you in Europe, by any chance? Something about the exterior makes me guess that this is a European horn (or hybrid), which would seem even more likely if you happen to have found the machine there.

And welcome to the forum, by the way!

Yes Cody. I'm in Barcelona (Spain) and found this phonograph here. The Edison machines in Spain are scarce, and the big models more. When I bought it, I'm sure that it was no modificate during at least 80 years, because was packed with 1920's newpapers, and keep in an attic during all these years.
Thank you for all the information.

I won't belabor the argument, but as noted on the first page of this thread, the bell is a remnant from a horn manufactured by the Wooden Phonograph Horn Company. If in doubt, check pages 52-53 of Antique Phonograph Accessories & Contraptions.
