Victor 1V with nickel horn. What do you think?

Post by Markie Mark »

My Victor 1V displayed at the great gatsby picnic, in Napier New Zealand, as part of Napier's Art Deco Weekend! When I saw Arnold Swartzmans book, I decided I like the combination of nickel and mahogany. I am hooked? Are You? Horn of course is aftermarket, made by Hawthorne and Sheble. Cheers Markie Mark in little old New Zealand.

It does make for a nice look.

I think it's way more interesting than a Vic IV with a black flowered horn. Better yet, it gives you an excuse to have two Victor IVs. You need one with a Victor horn and one with the after market horn. Isn't it interesting that both Edison and Victor offered the majority of their horns in only black. After market horns came in such wonderful shapes, sizes, colors, and decorations. Jerry Blais
