The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi, first time poster. I recently purchased what appears to be 2 phonograph horns from an auction. I do not have much information on them and they are unmarked.






The second one has a bend in the tip.
I also noticed that they seem to nest together well.
The first horn is 26 inches long. The second is 23 inches. When nesting they are 31 inches long.
Either I have 2 horns or 1 horn. I have been looking for them on the internet for about an hour and still haven't found anything.
Do you think you can help my search? When I bought them at the auction, there was a separate lot that sold a Columbia Phonograph that played cylinders. Does that help?

Thanks for checking this out.

Your photos don't show detail of the small ends - - a good closeup photo of each of the small ends would help. Also, are there hangers (rings) attached to the horns?

They look like magaphones rather than phonograph horns. Any evidence of handles on them?

The second one looks like half of a morning glory horn.
