By the end of the brass era the bulb horn was gone and replaced with an
electric horn. Cars with gas lights and no batteries used the bulb horn.
Late teens was about th end of them. They sound like a whoopee cushion
that has been stomped on...

It looks like the auto horn maker clearly got the idea from a phonograph horn,
did they and how long were these made? Steve

Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Interesting horn on ebay
Thanks, I should have figured that out. But I've never seen a black and
brass auto horn before. And that gives me a great idea. I can put a screen
on each of my horns and prevent the inevitable entrance of moths and other
critters into my reproducers!

Automobile bulb horn. The reed fixture screwed onto the small end of the
horn. Then the flex tube screwed onto the reed fixture. On th eother end
of the air tight flex tube is attached the big read or black rubber
honking bulb.

An interesting horn has appeared on ebay recently. But I've never seen
anything like it before. It has a screen at the horn opening and I have
no
idea why. Maybe it keeps the moths out. Or maybe it's not a phonograph
horn at
all. Any thoughts?
