Peter Spilger horn speaker
An unusual and large horn speaker with a square mahogany bell. The bell has decorative wood pieces in the corners and a metal flange on the back that connects it to the cast metal neck. The flange has slots in it that fit over nubs on the neck. There actually are two sets of slots in the flange to allow orienting the bell so it is flat on the top, or tilted with a pointed end on top as shown in this photo. The driver is plain with no identifying marks. The decal says 'PETER SPILGER, Electrical Equipment Repairs & Supplies, West New York, New Jersey'.
