FOR SALE: HMV/ Victor/ Edison Large Horns- Various

[gramophone-georg]

I'm offering the following horns for sale.

First one is an all brass HMV horn- it has a hole in the mounting cone for the thumbscrew and captured nut (both missing) that HMV used in place of Victor's big rivet.

This horn is actually very straight, yet full of very minor ripples- almost as if it were supposed to be "distressed" somewhat. It's a great "patina monster" as is for a shabbier non restored machine, but I think if it spends some time with Ripduf1 getting rolled, straightened, and polished it could be quite a spectacular knockout. I'm a classic German car restorer and I'm not seeing any stretched metal here, really... but I'm no expert on softer metals. It's a bit shorter than the Victor 5 horn I also have but the cone will fit the elbow on the larger machines. I'm asking $200 plus ship just because it's unusual.

Second horn is a black/ brass horn from a Victor V. It's original and in nice condition with the decal present. The two issues are the flat ding on the back of the bell ring and a small, clean hole that looks like a finishing nail hole in the cone right before it meets the bell. Both defects are pictured. I'm asking $275 plus ship

Third horn is a big beautiful original Victor Flower. I believe this is the largest size they made. I picked this up from Jerry B. last spring for an HMV project, but I'd have to modify it to get it to look right on the machine (decal placement, type, etc.) and it'simply to nice, clean, straight, and ORIGINAL to do this to so I am passing it on.
I'm asking $330 plus ship, which if I recall is just what I paid Jerry for it. You won't be disappointed with this one! Stamped "patented" in the mounting cone, too.

Finally, we have a 36" long cylinder CONCERT horn with a 20" big brass bell. Probably H&S? or maybe another supplier. It comes with a nice 3 leg floor crane. Perfect for getting teenagers out of bed for school! It's in nice original condition. I do need to drill out. tap, and replace one broken off fastener in the crane.

I'll ask $300 plus shipping for this one.

I'm fairly firm on the flower Victor, but I'll consider reasonable offers on the others.

As to shipping, the price of shipping these is ridiculous, even FedEx Ground. Sorry, but it's out of my control. However, I'd certainly be willing to box up and take these to Greyhound, who will ship terminal- to- terminal at quite reasonable rates. For example, shipping a 10 panel Edison Standard horn from Oregon to the East Coast costs $135.00 FedEx Ground, but Greyhound is showing under $50. I've used the Hound for large auto parts for years- they've never lost or damaged anything, and they are often just as fast or faster than UPS or FedEx.

Anyhow, here are some pics. Somehow they are in the exact opposite order I thought they'd be in. Start with the one on the bottom:

Update to the Victor Flower above: Bruce (Valecnik) and I have been corresponding on this one, and he is of the opinion that it's more appropriate for a Vic IV than a V. I thought it was "the big one" but I may be mistaken. I test fit it on my Vic V and it looks OK to me but I am no expert.

Dimensions are 21.5" (54,6 cm) long with a "bell" just under 22" (55,9 cm) wide.
