Here is another picture of the horn taken with a real camera, not my phone. It is a brass bell and to my eye looks like the horn shown in the cuts supplied by Wayne and Brian. John

I guess I'm the only one who cares about that formed end! :lol:

Thanks for the followup photo. That first image made the bell look like nickel. It doesn't change my opinion, but it's nice to know anyway. :)

This funnel horn is 12 inches long and has an opening of ¾". Although it looks to be very old, it was for a child's toy which was later than the 1920s.
