Certainly one of the largest, if not the largest Black and Brass Bell horn made to be suspended by a floor Crane no doubt from an early Cylinder Phonograph or Graphophone. Are there any markings on it to indicate who the Mfg. was or maybe some patent information ?

[rlb955]

There is no markings or patint numbers

Look closely, you can see it on the bottom right

I can't quite make out if they're diamonds or the more elaborate shape that only Hawthorne & Sheble used. I'm leaning toward the latter, but a better angle would confirm it.

That's definitely a Hawthorne & Sheble horn.
