Antique flat "fish" horn
« on: March 22, 2011, 04:46:34 PM »
You've probably seen these before.  I think they were probably commercial items from the later percussion era- does anyone know?  I picked it at an antique show in Illinois.  Looks like an owner scratched on it.

 Neat find Rich, really cool. Reminds me of the one in the Hartley book. I wonder what the two holes in the base were for? And the one in the tip.

Not sure, but I think sometimes a flat horn plaque was fixed to the base over the wood plug. Maybe the holes were from something like that?
