The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I bought a H&S Flower horn and a Tea Tray Company No.20 Patent Clamp Horn Crane to go with it at the Orlando show last week. The Crane is missing one of the Eyescrews (Thumb Screw). I would like to obtain an original replacement if possible. Perhaps someone has an extra laying around in the spare miscellaneous parts box they could sell me?

I don't know how to post a picture so if you may have something that might fit the description, but are unsure if it's the right one and a picture would help, I can e-mail a photo for positive ID. I can also provide thread size and eye diameter if that helps.

I would like to acquire a length of original chain too. I expect the chains from the period were generic. If I could find perhaps 10-12 inches of original chain with 100 years of patina, I would like to purchase some of that as well.


Thanks

Bill

I have had success finding several different thumb screws in stock at Home Depot which would work.

Stephen,

I should be able to find a new one without any issue, but I would like to replace it with an original if possible.
