Feel free to drag and drop that horn right into my living room and onto my Victor VI!

No, not paper mache Rod but rather a sort of cloth embedded with something to harden and then smooth it.  So it certainly could be mistaken for paper mache.   The were made for cylinder machines too.  Many but not all are characterized by gold band around the perimeter of the bell, double gold band on the outside around the middle of the bell and the Linenoid logo near the small end.  The one on the GEM is not mine.  The last four are of a horn currently on eBAY.

Given its name and the era, I'll bet it's related to lincrusta, a linoleum based deeply embossed material that was used as a wall covering in ornate Victorian houses.
