I ran across this horn in my attic. It looks like a crude approximation of a small Edison morning glory horn for a maroon Gem or the Fireside. Is it a Carl Frick horn?

The fact that horns like this sold indicates how desperate first generation collectors were for replacement parts. Todays modern collectors have a much easier time finding replacement parts. Comments?

Any ideas? Anyone have an early reproduction parts list?

Thanks, Jerry

I think this is one of Frick's horns. I used to have his catalog, but there were never any pictures of this horn in it. I have a horn just like it, but with crudely painted flowers.

Thanks Dave, I suspected it was a Frick horn. When I travel with a machine it's generally my B Gem with 2&4 gearing. I think I'll use this horn one those trips. It would make a good knock-about horn.

Thanks, Jerry
