I've seen the 24B on Victor VI, V, and an Auxetophone. It would also look wonderful on a fancy Victor D. Did you find one?

I did find one, yes. In rough shape though. I'll have to either polish it myself or have a professional go over it. Thanks for your answer!

P.s. thanks for finding the turntable for my Vic I. It's still stuck in New York, probably due to Covid, but hopefully I'll get it soon

Zwebe, you should have warned us to wear sunglasses before viewing. :) Very nice.

That's magnificent! Would it be possible to see a side view picture if it's not too much trouble?

It also came out on the HMV Melba, New Melba and Sheraton A&B as per a catalogue I have. They were put on high end HMV horn machines until wood horns came out and were adopted. That's my understanding of it.
Which then begs the question. When did the speartip horn first enter the market ?
