The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I really have no advice. It's way beyond my artistic abilities. Years ago, I had an art restorer do another Victor solid black paper horn. It turned out great too.

I thought these horns were only found on EMG machines. Any unique sonic character to these horns on a Victor machine ? I would guess they'd be mellower than a metal horn.

Boy guys I sure like these painted flowered horns showing up here. I've seen so few of them over the years.
It's odd Stan that you have seen mostly cylinder machine type horns. In my case I don't ever remember seeing a cylinder machine horn. The ones I have seen were for Victor machines.
This is one I have in my collection. Butterfly and flowers (Dogwood I think).

Here's mine. It also has the Victor decal but I don't have a photo showing the decal.

Was there a front mount version on any of these horns? How about a Columbia version?

There's also the paper mache version with oak wood grain finish for the Victor V. Wish I had one to show!

Here's one - sorry if you click on the pic it will rotate.

Here is another example of the wood grained paper mache horn for a Victor.

My Vic VI also has the black horn.
