SOLD: SUPER EARLY, RARE SEAMLESS BRASS HORN - $550

[Shawn]

Available now is a very hard to find, and early full spun brass horn. Collectors today call this a "Seamless" horn. This is due to the fact that these horns were made in the same manner as band instruments of the day. The seam runs the full length of the horn, but is nearly invisible. When viewed very close up, the seam looks like a zipper.

I've included a copy of an early Hawthorne and Sheble catalog showing their offerings for Full Spun Brass Horns. The array of sizes available goes from 14 inches up to 56 inches.

The horn offered today is No. 53, 24 inches in length with a 9-½ inch bell.00. It is in superior original condition. It retains the original patina and is as close to 100% dent free as an over 115 year old horn can get. The wonderful hanger ring is intact and beautiful. This is a super nice horn and would display well on any early Edison or Columbia machine. The 24 inch size is a perfect compliment to large or small machines.

These horns come available very rarely, and even more rarely in this wonderful condition.

The price is $550.00. Shipping is additional and no Paypal, but checks are fine.

Thank you very much.
