Copper Magnavox M!A

The Magnavox M-1 A iHorn is made from a Magnavox Radio

Horn which was  driven by its M-1 driver.  It was made in 1924,

originally sold for $35.00.  The mottled copper finish is to die

for!!!!!In 1910 Magnavox started as "Commercial Wireless &

Development Company" at Napa, California. In 1915,  Magnavox

put a horn to their "telephone receiver with moving-coil system"

and then used it as a "Fog-Horn" for the local baseball park.  It

was called the “Magna Vox” which was latin for “Great Voice.” In

 1917, the Company changed its name  to Magnavox.

Appropriately, the Magnavox logo is the lion head roaring.  The

M1A is a product of the roaring twenties.  The Roaring 20s was a

period of  sustained economic prosperity with a distinctive cultural

edge in the United States.  The decade was known as the Crazy

Years.  It was the an era emphasizing  social, artistic and cultural

dynamism. The Magnavox M-1 A is a wonderful piece  which

represents it era to perfection.  No longer a youthful flapper, it

remains in the height of fashion.  So sit back and enjoy a period

which revolutionized the world.
