Was this a Victor Horn?

Post by Pete Stratford »

I was watching a show called the “ Nevers “ and these two creations showed up. I am hoping they didn’t cut down a nice Victor brass horn to make the “ Amplifier “

Sure looks like a Victor 24B horn to me.

Hi Pete and Jerry,

You can rest assured no original Victor 24B horn was harmed in the making of the pictured device. Authentic Victor 24B horns are made with eleven petals. The horn in question in the pics only has ten. Perhaps the pictured horn is one of the smaller, 24B clones which were produced in relatively recent years (by Wyatt's Musical Americana???).

Sleep well,
Bob

My 24B has lines in the horn, like a regular Victor morning glory horn. I can't see them on this one.

Those are 19” horns.

I guess the movie people couldn't find vacuum tubes for the amplifiers.
