Tea Tray Co Morning Glory Flower Horn - This exceptionally attractive 12-panel morning glory phonograph horn was produced circa 1905–1915 by The Tea Tray Company of Newark, New Jersey, featuring their signature red oval ”TCT” decal near the collar. Crafted from pressed sheet metal with a petal-flared bell, the horn displays its original green factory enamel on both the exterior and interior surfaces, highlighted by delicate hand-painted floral embellishments along the inner panels. Designed as an aftermarket upgrade for cylinder phonographs such as Edison or Columbia models, this example remains in remarkably well-preserved original condition, showing minor age-appropriate surface scuffs, light paint loss near the rim, and expected wear around the neck connector while retaining bright, vibrant artwork and a clear manufacturer decal. Rubber hose connector on end. H 22”, W 22”, D 32”. Please see photos for condition.
