Tea Tray Horns

Post by phonogfp »

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

August 22, 1905: Charles Eichhorn was granted a U.S. patent (No.797,725) for an “Amplifying Horn.” This patent was assigned to the Tea Tray Company, and featured the distinctive concave petals commonly associated with the company’s horns. When Edison began supplying large flower horns with its Phonographs in October 1907, they were manufactured to the specifications of this patent.
