Just a couple vintage horns to go along with the real ones...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

now...1984 B&S F
2006 Weril 680 BBb
Cerveny F helicon, vintage unknown, perhaps turn of 1900s

all but junk Conn Eb souzie

Past owned:
MW 11 BBb (GREAT horn! except I prefer front valves to top)
Cerveny/Sanders Piggy CC (if you get a good one...)
1923 Conn BBb 4 rotary valve wish it played better in tune
1926 Conn Eb 4 piston *sigh

c.1925-1930 King Monster 4 valve souzie (biggest durn thing I've ever seen, haven't seen any close to it) The bell tenon fit OVER my head.

Holton T180 (?? super bar, double valve) valves customized a bit
Bach 50 , large venturi, large rose brass bell, D slide for second trigger...what a great horn!

YCB 621 - Nice horn but gone now.

MW 2145 - Again a nice horn but moved on after a couple of years. Swapped for a 56J in 2000

56J - Very good horn, love the sound, in tune, like being able to take it apart and clean it in the kitchen sink, still have it.... may end up selling because I don't think I need two CC horns.

Thor - Bought this horn after something else didn't work out. This thing is growing on me and could end up being the last horn I ever purchase.
