How many different brass Victor horns are there?

Post by antique1973 »

Being that I have come across 2 different size brass horns that fit my
Victor III, I am wondering exactly how many are out there? I am
referring only to the factory brass and black "witch hat" style that
fit the Victor I through VI series. Thanks for any info.

There are a few that were offered. The "L" is very big and cool. I have a spare mint one.

Here's my Victor D with an "L" sized horn. They are indeed large.

Note that they were $15 new, as costly as a wooden horn if not more!

Sorry, my wording "spare" in my first post may make people think my "L" horn is for sale. Sorry, it is not :)

In this photo you can see the largest L, K, O, J, and I think G sized horns. Comparing them to the fireplace on the right side of the picture gives some perspective re. size.

The chart and pictures are very helpful, thanks guys! It looks like that horn I just
picked up is second to largest model L. I notice when I play a record with it, my model
B reproducer on the Edison Standard actually rattles from the sound waves. I thought there
was a problem with my Exhbition at first but then realized it was coming from across the room.

Were the "B" and "M" horns for front mount machines? Jerry Blais
