Opinion on two 10" cone horns.

I recently acquired two small cone horns. One has a crimped end and the other quite a long piece that connects to the reproducer. Both horns appear to show typical wear for years of service. I would sure appreciate opinions. Thanks in advance.

The crimped-end horn was manufactured by Tea Tray Company or under license from them. These were supplied with Edison Gems and Busy Bee Q Graphophones.
The soldered-tube horn was manufactured by Hawthorne & Sheble, Standard Metal Manufacturing Co, or possibly a smaller concern. This type was supplied with Eagle and Q Graphophones.

Could I prevail on your good nature to help identify other small horns that have been scattered among some of the small cylinder machines in my collection. I'm going to make an attempt at matching the correct horn with the correct machine. If something appears to be a reproduction don't hesitate to say so. Thanks for all the generosity.

Sometimes it's difficult to recognize a horn from a single image, but horn #4 appears to be the Columbia 10-inch nickeled horn supplied with some cased Qs, the AA, and the BXP.
