Unsure about this Edison horn

This horn has been modified or something is missing apparently and the small end is too large to fit on the reproducer.
Can anyone help identify this horn please? Thanks!

The horn in your photos appears to be one offered with the Columbia "Twentieth Century" Machines.
The reproducer neck on these machines was a bit over an inch in diameter. Although these large nickel-plated horns were offered by some dealers as accessories for Edison machines, they were offered as factory accessories by Columbia, and so are generally associated with the Bridgeport products.

Are the petals bent back a bit more than they should be on this horn?

Thanks UV. It looks like the parts got sold. Had too many errands to run today to go and
see it.
