The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Years ago I saw a step-by-step build for spear tip horns on the internet. It was very well documented, showing photographs for forms, jigs, the entire process. Maybe it was posted on one of those ill-fated geocities sites, or my google-fu is not what it once was, but it now eludes me, and I appeal to you for any hints about where it may be, or a similar treatment of the subject. Would you happen to recall seeing something like this, ladies and gentlemen? I'd be most grateful for any suggestions.

Here is a link to patent info with drawings:

Thanks for the info. That seems like an intelligent way to put one together.

Here is a video of an older tinsmith making a Morning Glory horn
from the ground up.
Very fun to watch.

That video makes me wonder how it was done at the Tea Tray Company, 100 years ago.

I am sure that the processes would be similar back 100 years ago.
Probably used a die and punch to cut segments and power seam rollers
but the assembly of the segments would be done by hand.
A lot of work for sure.
