SOLD: Original Set of Edison Polyphone Horns - Inquire

[Shawn]

Folks,

Here is something that rarely comes available.

Correct Polyphone horns are made of a very, lightweight metal. Much more thin that those funnel horns issued for standard cylinder phonographs. Weight isimportant when a carriage has to carry two horns.

This is a set of original, Polyphone funnel horns. They are very light weight, and match in their look. These horns are nearly impossible to find as single examples. They are in very good to excellent condition, without cracks, tears, or other issues. The original paint is original, and very typical of these horns. When originally made, they were thinly painted without any primer. To have any paint at all on Polyphone Horns is truly a gift.

To find two matching Polyphone Horns is very rare indeed and SOLD

I have a question for you historians out there .
I am just wondering about these and the similar super lightweight Polyphone funnel horns that show up so very rarely …. Who made them?
Were they mass produced for the Polyphone manufacturers by one particular horn manufacturer and delivered to dealers along with the Polyphone carriage assembly ….Or were there so few buyers , that several local tinsmiths were contracted locally when needed?
