Magnavox M 1 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.
