This afternoon I visited a gentlemans house in another town to pick up a victor horn that I purchased. While there I spotted an unusual But very impressive horn that I had never seen before. The gentleman said that he purchased it with an Edison triumph machine years ago. It was large and black on the outside and light red on the inside and made from a material which was kind of a cross between light wood and heavy cardboard, but extremely resilient. The little logo on the horn said "Linenoid Horn". it was not shaped like any horn I had ever seen before either and its bell was slightly conical rather then bell like. THIS HORN COULD OBVIOUSLY EITHER HANG FROM A FLOOR CRANE OR FROM A CRANE ATTACHED TO THE TRIUMPH. HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN OR HEARD OF ONE OF THESE BEFORE. I GOOGLED LINENOID, AND THE ONLY THING I COULD FIND IS THAT A COMPANY CALLED CRANE BROTHERS, WHO MADE PAPER PRODUCTS IN THE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURY AND LOCATED IN DALTON, MASSACHUSETTS IN THE WESTERN PART OF TH E ST ATE, USED A PROCESS TO MAKE LINEN WASTE INTO A PRODUCT CALLED LINENOID, FROM WHICH they MADE MANY PRACTICAL ITEMS, AND I ASSUME THAT PHONOGRAPH HORNS Were AMONG THEM. VERY FASCINATING. IF ANYONE CAN ADD TO THIS, AND HAS EVER SEEN ONE OF THESE HORNS PLEASE REPLY. I WILL TRY TO GET BACK TO THIS FELLOWS HOUSE SOON AND TAKE A DIGITAL OF THIS HORN FOR ALL TO SEE. IF IT IS RARE, MAYBE I CAN MAKE A TRADE BRUCE __._,_.___
