I would say that a Columbia nickle plated horn is not scarce as they appear on eBay every once in a while. However, finding one with extremely nice nickle may not be easy. A nice one usually goes for $300 to $350, so the statement that the horn alone is worth the auction price is really not true since the current bid is around $450 and reserve has not been reached. If you got two of these machines for $200 each, then you really did get some good deals. Ray

Is this correct? Am I missing something. I have bought two of these exact machines at estate auctions for about $200.00. My question for the phograph gods is a nickle horn of this type considered "scarce"?
