Got any pics Kab? We'd also love to see this one...it might help too.

Glad to see you, Jim. Will try. Things hectic here for holidays. Horns really darkened with age.

Good to see you again too Kab...this horn could be really interesting, we'll need pics when it's possible though.

Jim,

Best I can do at present.[ATTACH][ATTACH]Attachment 77769[/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

thanks, Kab

Well, I got three out of that. Looks good, the big one would be the "storage" type I think. Then doled out to the smaller ones. There's a bit of conjecture attached to that but still. Now they shall come...you'll get a better answer shortly. Looks very nice. What's the measurements on this one Kab?

[kablair]

Sorry about pictures, best I could do. Large horn about 17+inches.

about 17+inches

Sounds like the big horn used to fill smaller ones...

Jim, as always, thanks for the help and support.

Still a nice piece Kab, I'm surprised a few more haven't drifted by to look.
