Magnavox M-3

The Magnavox M-3 iHorn is made from a Magnavox Radio Horn

which was driven by its M-3 driver.  It was made in 1925.  It is a

centurian.  The finish is to die for!!!!!  While Most Magnavox horns have

a brass bell, this is a composite wood horn which makes the tonal quality

extremely rich.  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 M-3 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-3 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.
