It had the yellow horn but no mahogany colored paint on the tips of the petals. I later found out that the paint used for this "mahogany" color easily faded over time. I purchased a better horn later on ebay that had some of the faded mahogany paint still showing, but it too was badly faded out. I finally was able to purchase a nice yellow horn with all of the correct mahogany paint on both the tips of the petals and near the elbow. That horn cost me $630.00!!! But I believe it is the only way the Victor "0" horn was sold. By the way, I have two yellow horns for sale if anyone needs one, but of course missing the correct mahogany paint.

I see the red on my Vic O perfectly. It's around the elbow and a "air brushed" style at the horn tips. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
