FLEA MARKET nos seiss horn

[62hotrod]

went to a flea market this weekend looking all over for any old bikes or parts wile digging thru some stuff i ran across this nice old bicycle horn still in the box with all hardware and instructions its a seiss no 135 silver meteor hand horn i was able to make a deal and bring it home it has a rather strange sound not sure what years they were used on bicycles i have seen them on some late 20's bicycles any ideas thanks.....

nice score, I'm sure the box would be worth some money on flea-bay.

i bought a book on hawthorne/elgin/monark?? bikes. in it it shows accessories for bikes each year. i'll dig it out and post. i was wondering about the same thing cause i had one like that too and wondered when it was made. ALSO, if there's a patent # on it - do a patent # search - google - you can find out EVERYTHING about it.

and yes, they make a wierd sound

I have seen them on ebay in HORRIBLE shape go for $100-$200. I couldn't even begin to tell you what it may bring NIB. Great find!!!

i don't think those seiss ones bring that - the klaxton type bring the big bux

here's the book i saw that horn in. the 1st time it shows up as an accessory is 1940 and the last 1954. you can use that as a guidline. if you don't have this book - get it, good ref. i got mine at memory lane in grand rapids, mi.
