It wouldn't be wrong if you did add a spear tipped mahogney horn. People did add the spear tipped horn years later to upgrade their machines, however, I understand why keeping with the period is important. A black japanned paper mache horn would be nice if you can find one in good condition unless someone out there makes these paper mache horns which are indicative of the period. -----Original Message----- From: Ron L'Herault <[email protected]> To: Antique Phonograph List <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, 26 Jan 2006 09:09:15 -0500 Subject: Re: [Phono-L] re Horn for early Victor VI needed
Mario, My early Type 6 came with a brass belled, conical steel horn. It was painted a maroon like color that closely resembled the mahogany color of the phonograph but was not wood grained. Most of the paint was bad when I got it but I found the area under the Elbow to be in nice shape and I used that to duplicate the color. This was in the 1970s. At the time I found a spray can of automotive paint that was as exact a match as I could get with my eye. I think it was a Plymouth Fury color.

I have a beautiful and early Victor VI phonograph however I am short a horn for it, it is too early for the Speartip or Brass Petal horn so I'm wondering if someone might have an early horn to suit this machine (Spun Brass and woodgrained OR Black Japanned).
