Doesn't say where they were made, but they look like B&S 101 BBb horns:

Both relisted, but the seller has not lowered the prices.

Not necessarily... I'm pretty sure these were originally marketed by Custom Music but were actually Czech (B & S). There were no bow keels. Just the nickel-silver cap and guard wire.TheGoyWonder wrote:if the bow guard isn't shaped like a ship keel, it's chinese
The 'keels' that were maybe 1/2" or so high were definitely European. The 'fake' keels that consist of a 'cheesy' stamped variety were definitely Chinese/Asian.
That being said.... Custom Music did eventually buy from China but all of those I've seen were badged Sanders 'Imperial'. THOSE horns seemed to be vastly superior to some of the crap currently coming out of China.
