Siren #197: Chico

$225.00

Our Sawdust Sirens are old style acoustic amplifiers for your new phone's speaker. Simply put your phone in and have a listen.

A nod to the Marx Brothers. Introducing Sirens #197-201: Chico, Groucho, Gummo, Harpo & Zeppo. Did you know that Arthur “Harpo” Marx was silent in all his movie appearances? He used to use a wide variety of car horns (also called squeeze or bulb horns) in order to communicate and make people laugh. Seriously funny stuff.

This particular antique/vintage Deluxe car horn is approximately 10” tall with a 3.5” bell and married to a reclaimed walnut base. This type of horn would have been mounted on the side of a car or motorcycle and used to have a reed and rubber ball attached to it. The base is finished with Betty’s Board Butter (beeswax and mineral oil). You may wish to re-oil your base occasionally. If your phone has stereo options you may want to play around with mono and stereo settings to see which you prefer.
