I've never seen a wood petal horn on a Victor

Painted to look like wood I assume like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-NICE-VICTO ... 7675.l2557

I don't think it's like the eBay one, mentioned above. I believe it's made of wood. It was most likely one of dozens of aftermarket horns made for dozens of different phonographs. This one, apparently made to fit a Victor. The decal is a reproduction and doesn't belong on that horn. It's also possible the horn is a more modern "reproduction"/creation. Odd that it's not made out of nice wood, and that the grain goes the "wrong way" across the petals. Makes me believe it's made from thin plywood called "bending stock" and makes also think all the more, that it's a more modern creation.

I agree. It is a reproduction. The grain is not at the right orientation. Also, the decal stands out like a sore thumb. The machine looks refinished with a light oak glossy finish that was never used on originally.
