The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

“On This Day in the History of Recorded Sound…”

March 10, 1906: Clement Beecroft filed for a U.S. Design Patent (eventually granted as No.38, 274) for “Horn.” This became the design used by Victor/HMV for flower horns supplied on many models.

Thanks! I know the 24B was offered in the US market. Was a smaller size all brass horn offered in Canada or the British market? I could swear I saw a smaller all brass horn when we traveled to Vancouver BC in about 1975. Thanks for any reply.

I've never seen a smaller 24B, but I wouldn't doubt it. There's always the possibility that Tea Tray manufactured one!

The all-brass reproductions, made some years ago, were smaller in size.
