Which Victor 24-B horn is correct for a later style Victor VI, (later style meaning the one with the same motor as the L-Door XVI)?
I have attached 2 pictures each of 2 different horns.
On the first one, the petals end at an enlarged brass collar and then step down to the final size.
On the second one, the petals end at the final brass collar.
Which Victor 24-B horn is correct for a 2nd style Victor VI?

Re: Which Victor 24-B horn is correct for a 2nd style Victor VI?
I have the first one with the small end. The Ebay seller sold that one first and now is offering the other style. I don't think either is older then the other. I think they may have been made by two different companies. The black flower horns came in these two ways also.
What I do find a little concerning is the seller deals in brass and both horns look a little too clean. That said, it could be that they were just buffed or were they made recently....????. Remember there are copies now out of the black flower. One other concern.....the measurements listed by the seller are not correct with my horn. That would concern me....IMHO.

Wow Gram78, I've never seen one with a decal. Very nice. And, of course that reproducer!
Do you have the link to the second one on eBAY. I watched the first. It went for $9xx.xx or so I believe. I am surprised he'd have a second.
