The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

The 2 horns below are from a friend who's dad just passed away. He knows I recently started collecting and asked me to check them out. These are the only pictures I have at the moment. My thought process was, offer him $50 for the Morning Glory, but let him know he could get $100-$125 if he were to actively try and sell it. I came up with this price from sales at the Breinigsville, PA auction.(which I bought one at that price) Is that a fair assessment? The Atwater kent horn has no base and I have no clue what those go for. I know it's for a radio, but thought someone on here may have some information on pricing and what to look for. Thanks for your input.

The radio horn doesn't have much value as a speaker, The base and driver is the vital part and the part that tends to get lost or thrown away- so there is an oversupply of horns. They are saleable but generally to someone who wants to build some sort of Steampunk contraption.

Thanks estott, I was afraid of that. I'm hoping to give him a range of prices tomorrow and let him decide how he wants to proceed.

The AK horn is worth between. $25.00 and $30.00 sans base in this market.
