Looks like a nice Funnel Horn for your "early" Edison machine, or Polyphone ?.

Correct me big guys if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that it goes with a Polyphone...metal is thinner on Polyphone horns..also, not all poly horns had rings on the edge, but the absence of one on this horn makes you take a second glance...
Be careful guys before you throw down big money...

I agree w Cleveland. Also I believe there is suppose to be a loop on one horn and a catch on the other if they were polyphone horns as seen on page 85 in Fabrizio & Paul's fist book "Compendium". John

Mine each have a loop (not a catch). I link them with a piece of chain.
