The seller described this toy like this:<\/p>\n

Up for auction is a Vintage Halloween NOISE MAKER toy HORN<\/p>\n

This old piece is very cool, it is made by the A SPEC TOY Product Made In USA<\/p>\n

This is orange and black plastic.<\/p>\n

It makes a beautiful sound when blowing through it, like a harmonica. The part that is blown through looks to be metal, like maybe a thin brass or something that has a yellow color, could be a brass colored tin, (we tried to capture it in a photo below)<\/p>\n

This measures about 6 inches<\/p>\n

It has a lot of detail as you can see in the photos<\/p>\n

In the black part, you can see the ornate design.<\/p>\n
