I accidentally purchased a horn from one, I entered the starting bid ($15.00)
to see how high it would go and I won it. I kept if for years before selling

We gladly purchased a genuine Crap-O-Phone from a man who had bought it and
found out it was fake. He purchased a nice Victor III from us and asked if I
would pay him $40 for his Crap-O-Phone because he never wanted to see it
again. I gave him the $40 because it had a Victor III-IV motor and cast
machine. Steve

A Frankenphone (based on a Standard A) yes; crap-o-phone, no. The
Frankard A was cheap, and I figured I might need the horn someday. Still
waiting for that day.
