I've often heard that many of the metal horns were turned in during the WWII scrap metal drives. If this is the case, then it may be that more were lost to salvage efforts than to damage. One can imagine, what a loss to us today this must represent. Inevitably there would have been some real treasures with hand-painted effects panels, special finishes, solid brass Zonophone horns, etc. Andy On Jan 20, 2008, at 6:27 AM, Bob wrote: > ...As the outside horn machines lost favor in the 1920's the owners > were less concerned about protecting them from their kids and a lot > were damaged, destroyed or lost. > RMV.
