i swear it hasnt been modified as far as i can tell but its 100% alumnimum or whatever silvery metal they were made out of. no black paint at all. 3rd series c. 1919-20 range. anyone ever see one like this before-

I have not seen any Amberola with a bare metal unpainted horn. I'd love to see some photos.

Thanks, Jerry B.

If this is the same Amberola 30 that was pictured on FB it has been most likely completely stripped of its original black paint revealing base metal which may have been nickeled. My opinion is that it was highly unlikely that the Edison factory released an Amberola 30 (or any of the later Amberolas) with a horn finish like the one in question. But it will be good to hear from others.
