Antique Vintage France Paris Metal Phonograph Display Music Horn Speaker Amplify

Description

Antique Phonograph Amplifier
(Local Pick-Up Option)
I bought this at a flea market in Paris and carried it back to my apartment in the rain.
Stopping at Poilâne bakery, it wouldn't fit through the door.
The first photo shows how I "parked" it outside the bakery (it was wet, so altered visually).
It's in excellent shape and is made of lightweight aluminum/steel and the elbow portion is brass (I think). The piece measures 24" high x 19-1/4" wide (the diameter of the bell) and weighs about 3 pounds.
The patina is beautiful: the rust is smooth and not crumbly/dusty. The inside looks to maybe be varnished/coated with a glossy finish. I'd call the inside color burgundy. Let me know if you need additional photos (eg, the inside, lighted), since it's difficult to cover the details in 12.
I don't believe it's been modified, but I'm no phonograph expert -- just a francophile welder who likes to hunt down cool metal stuff at estate sales and markets in France.
That large swatch of white above the elbow: thinking it's paint, but I've never tried to remove it. There's one faded patch on the interior too about halfway in, as well as some minor dents along the edges.
Shipping:
This size package won't be cheap to mail -- you could save $ and do a local pick-up in the Chicago area. I'll also give you the iron floor lamp too, which I use to display the horn. It's possible to thread a bulb through the mouth, and all you'd need is a cylinder cuff to stabilize it at the top of the base. It's easily spray-painted and could accent the inside a bit more (one photo shows the bulb inside). You'll have to know how to wire a bulb socket, since this is not what it was meant to do.
Buying
pre-owned
is a great way to tread lightly on the environment.
Smoke/pet-free home.
Thanks for looking!
