HORNS GALORE!

Post by GoCOOGS! »

Just picked up these horns from a man who’s getting out of collecting. Most his collection is gone but he had these horns sitting on a shelf. I pretty much stole them from him. He had several more I’ll be picking up at a later time. These were nicest ones he had. I believe they’re all for Edisons or Columbias.

He had about 20 other witches hat style horns as well that I might pick up!

Looks like at least a nice Edison Gem horn!

A ton of nice stuff is showing up these days...

Always cool to steal.

Yep. Now is the time to buy. We can pick machines up at incredible low prices--radios too, if you're into that--and literally anything else pre-WWII and fun appears to show up for cheap.

I don't know what the two funnel horns are that aren't for a Gem, in the picture. The witch's-hat horn looks like a replica? Surely they will come in great for some phonograph projects.

Totally agree! This is the buying time! However, I have a few common machines in storage that really need to go... the bad seller's market means they might be sticking around for a while.... I guess I can't have it both ways... :lol:
