Re: Columbia Graphophone Cylinder machine
Just by way of illustration here's an original 10" horn I once owned, showing a lot of wear on the bell and exposing some of the brass.

Cool! Thank you for the photo, Rene!
Now, I have seen photos have these machines with a small black horn, with a gold band. But it's not a bell horn. Like the one you have in your photo.

Paul,
The second style Graphophone Q had a 10" black cone horn with a gold stripe. That's the one you are describing.

Re: Columbia Graphophone Cylinder machine
The original horn equipment for the B was also a 10" black cone horn with a stripe. Only the "Nickeled & Polished" B came with a nickeled horn.
The Q (1899 and 1904 models) was also supplied with a 10" black cone horn with a stripe unless it was a particular outfit such as a QQ (nickeled horn) or a QA (aluminum horn).
Articles on both the B and the Q with lots more detail and photos have appeared in recent issues of The Antique Phonograph.
