Victor paper mache horn -- SF Bay Area

[poodling around]

Many thanks for the input. I wonder if anyone is going to grab it. (I'm surprised Peter F didn't jump on it.)

..... So one version sold for 8 dollars in 1905. According to one website that is 2,709 dollars 'in today's money'. Just for the horn. Some rich people around I guess.

Thanks for posting that link, since it goes farther back than the inflation calculator I normally use.

I was a little puzzled by that, and double-checked the site. I noticed, instead of $8.00, you had entered $80.00:

$8.00 (1905 USD) would be $270.92, which would be more in line with what I'd expect for the times--still expensive though.

Ha ha. My ineptitude knows no bounds

Glad you noticed the error. That makes far more sense. Thanks OrthoFan
