In 1911 Plays & Players began as a social club committed to expanding and developing new theater experiences. Maud Durbin Skinner, the wife of the famed American actor Otis Skinner, was the first President of Plays & Players. This particular antique/vintage car horn is approximately 9” tall with a 6.25”” bell. These types of horns used to have a reed and rubber ball attached to them. Skinner is paired with a floor joist from Plays and Players on Delancey St. in Philadelphia, PA. The wood is from a renovation of the theater that was done in the early 90’s. The joist was removed in order to make room for the trap door on the stage. Finished with Betty’s Board Butter (beeswax & mineral oil). You may wish to re-oil the base occasionally.
