Didn't Edison have some dealings in Malaysia? it could say "M??? Menado Manufacturers of Phonograph ???" Menado is a Malaysian word that is a name of a place and a person's last name there also.

Sorry, have to edit... I'm thinking it is an Indonesian word, still Edison did deal with both didn't he?

I'm not aware of any Edison operations in Malaysia, and I really don't mean to be contentious, but...it's not an Edison horn.

I wasn't suggesting that it was an edison horn, but a horn made to fit an edison machine that was shipped to Indonesia at one time.

Hmm, I would have thought that like New Zealand & PNG, places like Indonesia & Malaysia would have received their Edison products via his warehouse, offices & show rooms in Kent St Sydney Australia, as part of the Australasian domain?

That's my understanding too.

you're probably right about the machine nor horn not being in Indonesia, to the root of what I was getting at was that the horn label looked to me like it said "MENADO" above the word "manufacturers of". For all I know it could mean that a man with the Indonesian last name of Menado set up a horn making outfit in the U.S. at one time. Maybe Menado is a name in some other language like Spanish.

Maybe it says "Mortimer & Menado manufactureres of Phonograph Horn Mysteries", lol

I figured it wasn't an edison as well. It would be pretty simple to identify if it was. All I know is it came with an edision phonograph. Who knows how many different things this thing had over the past 100 years. I just haven't seen anything like it or like the label. This horn will be used to test my wood grain painting skills.

I am really excited to try it.

sansenoi, the word above manufacturer of is "Metal" that i'm sure of. I don't know, ONe of those mysteries i guess. 11 panel though, will look nice.
