The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

My first thought was "crapohorn" but the elbow is one smooth piece. Owner says its very light
almost like pressed paper. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thar is a horn off a Guild phonograph from the 1950's. It was an approach to sell a machine with a retro look back then. Once they turn up loose, people think they are the legit original thing but are really not worth much unless you are putting together a Guild machine from the 50's

This is for a Guild combination radio/phonograph hi-fi built in the 1950's. Guild built radios and phonographs into a variety of cabinets all an interpretation of American antiques such as a wall phone, a dry sink, a roll-top desk, a lantern (radio only), a grandfather clock, and the 'Grafanola', from where that horn originated. The hi-fi speaker was built into the horn opening originally and covered with a black perforated metal grill. I have seen these horns turn up frequently over the years misidentified as real horns.

Ah ok. Thanks John and Guest! The base looks very similar to the Odeon gramophone I used
to have so I thought it may be European.
