    Hello, I recently came across this horn and would like some help in identification. I have searched but have not seen anything quite like it. I'm guessing it is some sort of signal horn?
    Anybody have any ideas?

      I've added some more pictures. There are no markings on the piece and it's about 10 1/4" long. Sorry, I should have been more descriptive in my original post.
      Thank you

      Looks like an old railroad air horn, circa 1880 to 1900. A rubber air hose would be attached to the end. Just an educated guess.
