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.
