Vintage "Kohler & Son"Hunting Horn
This is a wonderful quality hunting horn.  It is in good condition with a Brass  Mouthpiece leading to a copper trumpet.  The base of the horn has the makers mark clearly imprinted, if a little rubbed from use .Stamped "KOHLER & SON - MAKERS - 116 VICTORIA STREET
 WESTMINSTER (From Convent Garden)"  The horn was made between 1882 - 1888 then from 1888 - 1896  "Kohler & Sons"changed address to 61 Victoria St, Westminster which makes it around 130 years old.  "Kohler & Sons"  was acquired by "Swaine & Adeney" in 1907 when they changed address to 185 Piccadilly so you can see from the dates that this is a very old Hunting Horn.It shows lovely signs of use and wear it has a number of small dings and dents from use of the years, it has a lovely colour which can not be produced and only comes with age.  This all adds to the character and charm.It measures approx 23.5cm (9 1/4 Inches). The "Bell" is 5.5 cm (2 1/4 inches) wide. The previous owner owned this horn for almost 15 years and says it was used with the "Pytchley Hunt" prior to him owning it.
