Siren #316: Queen of Hearts, $500
Our Sawdust Sirens are old style acoustic amplifiers for your new phone's speaker. Simply put your phone in and have a listen.
This antique Red Morning Glory Phonograph Horn from the early 1900s has lots of patina, 8 concave petals, and original patent stamp. This type of horn would have been used with an Edison cylinder phonograph or Columbia graphaphone. This particular design of phonograph horn was sometimes called a Flower Horn, Morning Glory Horn, or Petalled Horn. There are some small scratches, dents, and paint deterioration that are appropriate for the age of the horn. The base is made from a reclaimed ash beam.
The horn is approximately 19” long with a 17.5” bell. The whole piece is about 18” tall x 19” wide and 16” deep. You may wish to re-oil your base occasionally. Each siren is signed on the bottom of the base. If your phone has stereo options you may want to play around with mono and stereo settings to see which you prefer.
Please let us know if you have a plus sized phone.
