I agree John, the horn is quarter-sawn oak.

Are you sure it's not oak?? The grain sure looks like oak. I have seen oak
horns that age to a red color. Just wondering.

Dear Fellow Phono-Collectors,
I have a Mahogany Victor horn for sale. If you are not interested / delete
now with my
apologies for sending this email to your inbox.
For those of you that are interested / here are the details....
We all know these original wood horns don't come up very often without
having to buy the entire phonograph.
This one is priced at $950 + shipping. These normally range from $1200 to
upwards of $1500 for a pristine example.
This one is not without flaws and is priced accordingly for a quick sale to
a fortunate collector.
This horn is very presentable and would look great on any Victor 4 or 6
machine. Please see pictures (links below).
The horn has one major flaw (among other minor blemishes) that has been
repaired and it looks fine now. The horn has
the original finish and I suspect may have a top-coat of shellac on it. The
original Victor Dog decal is all there / the "alligator" finish makes it
look worse in the photos than it is. The horn itself is SOLID. I do not have
a horn elbow for it.
Shipping: I prefer this horn be packed and shipped by UPS (not me), unless
someone wants to pick it up in person.
I live in northwestern Pennsylvania about 25 minutes south of Erie, PA. This
can only be shipped within the 50
States within the continental U.S. (not Alaska or Hawaii). I would not be
surprised if the packing and shipping
and insurance charges by UPS approach upwards of $100, depending upon where
you live within the United States.
However, if packed by UPS, it will be done right and insured. If UPS
packing/shipping/insurance is more than $100,
I will pay up to $50 additional money to get it safely to you. So, the most
this horn would cost anyone would be $1050
to your door.
Here are six photos of the horn:
