In 1926, the Atwater Kent Manufacturing Company created the “Atwater Kent Hour”, a radio concert music program, as a way to sell more radios. The show was hosted on CBS and NBC from 1926-1934; it featured top entertainment and became one of the most popular radio programs of the era.

These horns were manufactured in Philadelphia, PA. This 1920’s Model L is paired with salvaged walnut base. The horn is approximately 17” tall with a 14” bell. It has its original brown label. The base is finished with Betty’s Board Butter (beeswax & mineral oil). You may want to re-oil the base occasionally. Each Siren is signed on the bottom of the base.
