Triple T

The Triple Trumpet iHorn is made using a bulb horn from a Ford Model T automobile era.   It is a Testophone Three Trumpet brass bulb horn.  These were manufactured between 1908 and 1912.  Therefore it is a centurian.  The Model T was produced by Ford Motor Company from 1908 to 1927.  The production of the Model T was responsible for the creation of assembly line manufacturing.  The standard 4-seat open tourer of 1909 cost $850;  in 1913, the price dropped to $550 and $440 in 1915. Sales were 69,762 in 1911; 170,211 in 1912; 202,667 in 1913; 308,162 in 1914; and 501,462 in 1915.  By the 1920s, the price had fallen to $260 because of increasing efficiencies of assembly line technique and volume.  By 1915, Model T's came equipped with a Klaxon "aw-ooga" horn.  Therefore, the bulb horn was only used between 1908 and 1915, making this horn approximately 100 years old.  The Triple Trumpet  is the triple threat.  Travel safely.
