Magnavox M1A

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.
