My friend Mike Bought this on e-bay in a state of destruction. It was one hair from being firewood. He painstakingly rebuilt it piece by piece. It really reminds me of what incredible craftsmen lived back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. What a phenomenal work of art. I wonder how long it took to produce even one of these. Please enjoy everyone.

Bill, is the horn original or did your friend remake it? Either way, it is stunning.

The horn is original but it needed a lot of work.

If you are into this sort of thing check out sparkmuseum.com. They have a section on horn speakers with a couple that are one of a kind as well as lots of early early electricity and radio equipment.

Bill thanks for sharing. I cant imagine even making the moldings without power tools, let alone the horn!
