It looks like Don Gfell product http://www.edisonman.com/victorpanel.htm

It's actually not a Gfell horn. It's a "Eureka" horn, an aftermarket product. These almost never turn up undamaged. I have one in Mahogany that came with my Victor IV. They're super thin and lightweight. It's a wonder any of them have survived. They were also sold for cylinder machines.

Yes, and usually seen on Columbias. Never saw a Victor version, so yes, a "very rare wood horn".

I have the exact setup as pictured (Vic II), a mahogany one on a Columbia, and a cylinder example in oak. All have the Eureka decal. Had never seen one until I got the Vic II, and then found the other two at the Union shows within 2 years - feel very lucky.

I stand corrected
