A Mega Horn to Shout About
Click on images for larger views.
FOR MUSICIANS, MUSIC BUFFS OR POP CULTURE ENTHUSIASTS, this 19th century hand-painted mega phone (or, mega horn) would be a fine addition to your collection. Lyrical and authentic, this piece is a fabulous object. You can find it at “East Meets West Antiques” in Los Angeles. It’s made of metal and leather and comes with the stand. The length of the horn is just under 2 feet. Painted on the side is the word “SWANNEES.” The price is $2,650.— not cheap, but then again—there’s only one of these.
