It depends too on what you are planning to do with it, are you trying to sell it or thinking of buying it? Are you looking for a good player, if so it really doesn't matter what the maket value is if it is a good player for you.

You said it is a prewar in mint condition so I hope you would post a picture of it. The Horn-u-copia site might give you some insight also. Let me know if you are not familiar with that site and I will give you a link to it.

Thank You, Ken. I'll check Horn-U=copia.
I don't own the horn. It is in the North west and I am at St. Louis.
A friend owns it and we're trying to get a value. It is a family treasure.
