This is a well‑crafted reproduction of the early funnel‑style tin horn used on both Edison and Columbia phonographs during the first decade of the 1900s. Measuring approximately 14½ inches in length with a 6¼‑inch bell, it follows the proportions and construction of original period examples, including its tin body and traditional matte‑black appearance. This listing is for one horn.
Please note: this reproduction is unpainted, allowing the buyer to finish it in black lacquer or add period‑correct striping as desired. Original horns from both Edison and Columbia were produced in several subtle variations, and this reproduction reflects the straightforward, utilitarian style seen on early Standard, Home, Fireside, and Columbia front‑mount machines.
Early funnel horns—whether original or reproduction—are increasingly difficult to source. Their simple tapered profile predates the more decorative cygnet, morning‑glory, and flower horns, offering clear acoustic performance and a historically accurate look for early cylinder and disc machines. Whether you are completing an Edison model A Standard, outfitting an Edison Polyphone, or restoring an early Columbia BN, AT, or Q‑series machine, this horn provides an appropriate and authentic period presentation.
A practical choice for collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts seeking a faithful early‑style horn for Edison or Columbia phonographs. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
