I think it's quite possible to find cases that show evidence of having a front mounted crane and holes in the back for a Cygnet horn. I believe owners were anxious to keep their machine "current" so dealers must have done quite a bit of business installing combination attachments and Cygnet horns and cranes. Jerry

If it were mine, I would not feel an obligation to find all the Cygnet pieces unless it's a special machine. I would probably enjoy it with a 14" horn or an attractive M/G horn. Jerry
