Whoops! "Tears" instead of "years." Must have been a Freudian slip,
apropos but unintended (I think).

The seller also has the putative date of manufacture wrong. The phrase
"Made in W. Germany" was used in the tears immediately following World
War 2 to differentiate the Western zones of Germany---occupied by the
Americans, French, and British---from "East" Germany---the Russian
dominated part of divided Germany, but was phased out of use in the
1960s. My guess is that the horn was probably made in the 1950s.
