I have a very early Home Model A with the clockwork top and brass mandrel, last patent date June 30, 1893. Serial # H232
What would be the correct horn for this machine? 14 inch brass?
Which horn went on a very early Model A Home?

The earliest catalog I've seen indicates it was sold with both listening tubes and a 14-inch polished brass horn. I display my early skeletal Home with listening tubes to match the catalog illustration.

Rene is correct - - the buyer had a choice of listening tubes or a 14" funnel-type horn (often called a Polyphone horn by modern collectors).

H232? Wow, that is very, very early. Does it have a drawer in the front of the cabinet? If it were mine (and please feel free to make it mine), I'd display it with only listening tubes and -- perhaps -- a speaking tube.cheryla wrote:I have a very early Home Model A with the clockwork top and brass mandrel, last patent date June 30, 1893.

Why the carriage arm on this machine is not of the early type?cheryla wrote:My very early Home H 232
