I think this fix a Edison Gem and some Fireside models.

Hey Mark, thanks for finding the crane to send pictures. Unfortunately that's not the type of crane I'm looking for, that's for a straight horn, Im looking for a crane for a Cygnet horn, the type that curves and hangs above. Thanks though, I'm sure someone else would be interested in buying it off you if you're interested in selling it still

If you are looking for a cygnet crane for a Fireside with an angled carriage, the crane you are looking for would like like this:

Sorry Mark but your crane is for the small straight morning glory horn used on some Gems and Firesides. The thread author is looking for a crane for the curved Cygnet horn.

That crane is for a horizontal carriage with a Diamond B reproducer. I think the crane for an angled carriage is what is needed.
