I just bought a Polly Portable Phonograph in good condition, but the
paper cone speaker is rather worn and doesn't hold together very
well. It's also lost a lot of stiffness, which I assume is necessary
for best performance. Does anyone make a replacement or know of a spare?
Best,
Chris

I have an all original blue Gem horn.

the blue horn on Ebay hasn't any gold paint on the seams from what I
can see.

It looks to me like the patent decal has blue paint that ran down on it and it
has a black outline.
I agree with Lee. (He is very skilled in this area)

John,
This horn was originally a black Edison 11 panel Thomas A. Edison Home
signature label on it. The blue paint job was painted over the black with a
terrible attempt to mask off the original decals. I wouldn't touch this with a
ten foot pole! Edison did sell blue horns but they were

I have to agree with the consensus here. The horn looks painted, certainly not
an Edison blue color. These original blue horns are in fact quite rare. If
you'd like to see the blue horn owned by Charley Hummel, check out my videos:
