What is the average price for a an Edison Horn for a standard home phonograph. Morning glory, or panel style?

Also for a floor crane?

From what I've seen, original morning glory horns can go for $100 to $300. I've also seen original cranes go for $200 to $400. Of course, you can buy a reproduction crane for about $80, but its never better than the original.

Paul, not sure if it is apropos to your question, but the Edison panel horns weren't intended to be supported by floor cranes, so they wouldn't be considered correct as a set.

Thank You John! The crane I have is for a Morning Glory Horn, and my large brass horn needs a floor crane.

A complete original floor crane can cost well into the hundreds depending on type and condition. You can also make one using a collapsible music stand and a section of steel or aluminum rod. I bought a music stand for $1.00 at a church sale. I plan to adapt it to be used for a horn crane and microphone stand.
I had a couple of 56 inch brass horns with floor cranes, one of them came with a Columbia AG. Those things are beautiful but they sure take up a lot of space.
