The Edison West Point Horn

[RodPickett]

Valecnik posted a photo of a beautiful Linenoid horn.

 

I have shown this elsewhere, but here is an example of the Edison West Point horn, described in George Frow’s "Edison Cylinder Phonograph Companion", p. 316 in the 1st Edition or p. 359 in the 2nd.

Incredibly similar looking of the future(?) Diamond Disc Phonograph horns!

Many collectors mistake it for a DD horn or presume it cobbled together with a DD horn-throat and an Amberola 30 horn.  It is neither.  It sports the traditional Edison script signature decal on top, which is never present on an internal horn.

Very cool, Rod.

Could you show is a picture of the top of the horn Rod?

Very cool.  A very rare item.  Definitely not a cobbled Amberola horn.

It's a pleasure to see such a rare horn.  Jerry
