FOUND: Excellent Original Horn for Humpback II

Post by Zwebie »

Well it never fails!

I had been holding on to a "Minty" Black & Brass horn for a Humpback II for over 10 years, if I ever came across a minty machine.
I finally gave up a few months back and sold my horn on the forum.

Well low and behold, I purchased this "Minty" Humpback II in need of a horn.

I would like to buy a minty Black & Brass Victor “G” horn. The bell diameter is 11 ⅜" across, and approx. 17" tall.
I would also consider a slightly larger horn if it is minty, or an aftermarket Nickel Petal horn.

Thanks in advance, Bob S.

Outstanding! I love both the styling of a humpback II and the aftermarket horn. Great combination!

It's a Hawthorne & Sheble. The applied floral decals are typical of the firm's later horns, and the round H&S label is prominent in image 4587.

Nice horn, Bob! :)
