I have a perfectly good Ames horn that I no longer want to keep around since I no longer have a Model A. Just wondering what the value is? It has a few coats of black paint on it, but works perfectly. It was from my dads 28 A. Why I have it I can't remember as the car was sold in the 60's.
 
The last one I bought for $10, the one I use on the car I paid $50, I see them for $100 all the time.

Short answer...give it to one of your old Model A buddies
 
Anyone got an unrestored Stewart Warner horn or a Sparton with an original patient plate either dated 05 to 07, 31 or alternatively undated they'd like to sell? Richard
 
I know J- I have 4 horns Im holding onto.


last one I used on a car was rusty and crusty and fit the car perfectly!


I never do get to use the restored ones though........and theyre not worth selling,
for what it costs to restore them.


how certain things fly when involved in As.
 
I am asking $75 and I have a guy who says he will buy it, if he can cancel the new one he ordered almost a year ago and haven't seen yet.
 
Its like anything else, not worth anything to those who don't want it. To those looking for a good horn, it ought to be worth easily $150-175. Put it on ebay with a $180 Buy-it-now with free shipping. It'll sell.
 
eagle- I see restored ones all the time for 185. they never move.........


and btw- dont forget all the ebay ppl fees. now youre back to square one.
 
Every show or swap meet I go to, there are lots of horns for sale at what I think are quite high prices. Yet, I never see model A s that need horns. So who's Buying the damn things?

My horn isn't working but was a pretty good car in the 20 years before I got it.

It's probably easier for me to send it off to someone who's done a horn overhaul many times than for me to try and learn how to do it.

What are recommended horn overhaul shops in the US?

Thx!!
