The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This horn was given to me some years ago could anybody tell me anything about it.It measures 42" long and 24" across the bell.

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 ?

There is no markings or patint numbers

Can you post a photo of the hangers?

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.

Here is the hanger.

That's definitely a Hawthorne & Sheble horn.

Interesting. What company used the diamond shape?
