$1400 strikes me as very high for a funnel horn. Unless, perhaps, it was a Polyphone horn, with a loop soldered into the rim to hook two horns together. Those are indeed rare.
There have been some repro funnel horns made in the past but I think quantities were very small. One series was made about 25 years ago but they were sold only with a replica Columbia Polyphone attachment, they weren't available for individual sale.
It is surprising that no one is making them now.

"It is surprising that no one is making them now."
Sounds like a nice enterprising job for someone....starting with small limited runs...to "test" the waters...
I'm sure many out there would be interested in buying one..
