Actually, you can't make any noise with this horn. The mouthpiece is missing. I guess you could make your own toots through it if you really wanted to. It has those classic Halloween graphics I love.
It can be replaced from a less-valuable New Year's horn from the same maker, which happens to be the same maker as the rattle noise maker I posted earlier this month, U. S. Metal Toy Mfg. Co. It probably dates from the 1950's as well.
That is so dang cute. What a fabulous find.
ReplyDeletei don't know if i ever remember using noisemakers on halloween. NYE, sure, but not halloween. seems like a tradition that was already pretty much faded out by the time we were hitting the streets in the 70s.
ReplyDeleteYeah, these pre-date Trick or Treating for the most part when Halloween parties were more of the norm.
DeleteFun relic! In good shape too, it seems.
ReplyDeleteYeah, aside from missing the mouthpiece, it was in pretty good shape. The bell was a little out of round, but I was able to fix that as best I could.
DeleteLove the design....definitely giving me nostalgia for old-school decorations!
