Help me identify this old car horn

[Zymurgy]

I play a Tuba in a brass band and we are playing a song for 1913 that has a old car horn honk at the end. Our director has an old brass horn from a car and was wondering if any of you guys might know what kind of car it is from.

Mystery solved, LOL. Actually Bob's suggestion of asking the AACA yielded some results. They said it was an aftermarket serpent horn. I also noticed that might be from Great Britain because it has mount for the right side of the car. My director's ancestors are from Wales.

Thougt it was from Jack Benny's Maxwell.
There was RHD cars by the way in the early years in the US as well as you see.

Jack Benny?

You never heard of him ? One of the most popular comedians from the 30s-60s.
My brain must be 40 years older than my body.

I can relate to that, Jack Benny was one of the greats from the era of live television.

Gary are you familiar with anything, anywhere, anytime, pre-1970?
Did you know there was a WW I and a WW II?

Dude(s)....I was born in the mid 70's. Let's see now....hmm from what I've read and been told.....the last moon shot was 3 or 4 years before that.....a dance craze called "Disco" was just starting to get hot, ahhhhh...let's see..let's see...Oh, Gerald Ford was still president, OPEC had just begun to start strangling us, the "police action" in southeast Asia was over for a year or two already, people wore three inch thick heels and the Blues Brothers were still 4 or 5 year away.......NOW, about or near the same year the Blues Brothers arrived on the big screen...I HAD JUST STOPPED CRAPPING IN DIAPERS.....and I'm supposed to know who Jack Benny was....REALLY?.............really???
