[Phono-L] Blue Edison Horn

[Steven Medved]

John,

It looks to me like the patent decal has blue paint that ran down on it and it has a black outline.  

I agree with Lee.  (He is very skilled in this area)

> Hello all
> I am very fascinated by a blue edison Home horn on ebay. I'd like to put it on my Triumph, though it isn't really a Triumph horn. I am captivated by the blue color. Now the question  - I know Edison made blue morning glory horns for export, I think Australia among other palces, as I recall.  This horn appears to be originally painted blue. There is blue paint under where the patent decal is scratched, not black paint. The pictures seem to show that it has age, and is in the same general condition of many of the black japanned horns. I am really close to buying it, but thought I wold run it up the flagpole here for your always-valued opinions. Is this the correct Edison blue??
