Just to confuse everybody even more, this particular horn style was also used by Columbia Graphophone Co.

If the machine was from the Parlophone company, it would be easy to identify as Parlophone is fairly well documented.
The diversity of pressed steel horns is huge. This particular style horn I have seen on an Apollo machine, but looking at 1912 / 1913 Apollo catalogues, the horn styles in these catalogues were different!
Pictured is the right horn style - but unfortunately repainted.
