I love the morning glory horn, would look great on my phonograph! Depending on where you are located, the trunk is worth between $90 and $200. The horn is between $100 and $200 as well. $90 each would be a great deal for a buyer. Just depends on how quickly you want to sell them. With patience you could get the higher end, and people will pay it.

Welcome to the forum , twohip4school .

Your phonograph horn might be a TTC (Tea Tray Company) horn .

Could you possibly post an image showing the outside of the full length of your horn ?
