The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I would really appreciate the forum's help to identify which machine this horn came from. The screw on elbow is an original Victor part and fits the screw thread on the horn. There are no labels or identification markings on the horn itself. The bell diameter is 17 in. and the length is 18 in.

Thank-you in advance.

To my knowledge Victor never factory-equipped one of its machines with a horn like this. It's an aftermarket horn offered to replace the original Victor component (which was probably painted black). As such, it's a scarce item. Several aftermarket companies offered their horns adapted for Victor, but they rarely surface.

Congratulations!

So this is the machine that came with this horn in "as found condition". There was no reproducer but the broken off brass throat was inside the elbow.
Could this Berliner "C" and horn be somewhat original?

Thanks for your help.

I can't intelligently respond because I have not studied Canadian Berliner enough to know whether or not the "C" used a brass threaded elbow. I'm sure someone on this forum can help!
