-A WORD ABOUT REPRODUCED HORNS -
We all would like to find that proverbial mint machine in
Aunt Tilly's closet. Early collectors found these machines
and were able to buy them cheaply. We are now finding the
machines that need substantial work. The horns usually are
rusty (often through the metal), they are dented, from
small dings to large folds. and where used as funnels for fuel
and other things.
To restore an original takes a lot of skill and work, and when
   you get through you have a dimpled, wavy, repainted less than
correct original that I prefer not to put on my machines as
representing what the makers and skilled workers made.
  The Reproduced horns we sell and use are made exactly like
the originals, less all the rust, dents and high prices.

This machine is in excellent condition, sound, Original case,
tigered oak, original nickel plate and reproduced horn, the
backmount is original, and in great shape.
It has been serviced and the reproducer rebuilt. This machine
looks great and sounds great, A real winner.
