A choice of three "horns"
This otherwise genuine looking machine has not one but three substitute "horns" which appear to have started life as cigar boxes. I don't know what they would sound like, but they should smell nice and burn well

How funny and how original of someone. Making horns out of Cigar boxes. They remind me a bit of an after market horn called "The Resonator" from 1910 which was a very short lived accessory. The one in the picture below is mine and many of my friends have often referred to it as a toilet seat horn.

Re: A choice of three "horns"
Today I went to an auction where, by coincidence, a collection of three genuine metal horns sold for £65. Any one of these would have restored the machine to some sort of authenticity.epigramophone wrote:This otherwise genuine looking machine has not one but three substitute "horns" which appear to have started life as cigar boxes.
