This appears to be a Model A Horn sitting on an anvil.
The pisser is that it is not! It's a cheap 1960's or 1970's 12 volt P.O.S. It's not even a good reproduction. Original horns were painted all black, the bell was not chromed as in this one. The motor inside is a modern sealed bearing job. The housing is missing the data plate or anywhere to mount one. It's also missing the adjustment screw on the back.
I kind of wish I looked at this before. As I had ordered a horn rebuild kit in anticipation restoring an original horn. So now I am looking around for an original horn to restore. I have a couple of leads on ebay. But I don't hold a lot of hope and getting one at any sort of decent price. I'll try for awhile to get an original before I break down and buy a quality reproduction.
Anyone want a cheap 12v Ah'ooga horn?
