La Testaphone Musical Bulb Horn
Here is a nickel-plated, 5-note "La Testaphone" musical horn from France. These were sold as car accessories, and had various numbers of horns. A cylinder with holes directs the air to play a tune. This one is not working (no bulb), but looks complete. All the horns have reeds, and the cylinder looks good, too. The mechanism looks good and operational. Below the photos is a video describing them. The 5-horn model seems pretty rare. This one has a few dents in the horns, but overall looks very clean and nice. No heavy wear or corrosion visible. $450 + postage. Check online to see what these sell for!
