There were some old radios that had a horn kinda like that........ may have been a different material, Though. It's been awhile since I saw it, and it was inside the cabinet, not outside.
...... and yes, weird looking.

Strange indeed! I'd love to have them, but not for $2800. There is also a single unit on ebay with a driver for $350.

No tickee, no shirtee. Where's the WE label on that thing? Without it, it has no pedigree. If there WAS a label, it would be shown for sure.
BTW, doesn't make sense in my mind to have that long air column when the mouth isn't really that big. But what do I know...

Yes, these were from antique radios...Grunow/Majestic, maybe? Hard to find a matched pair in one place, I'd bet.
A bit too organic looking for me! Scary!
connector looks like a hydraulic brake line part ...
guns kill people,
like spoons made rush limbaugh,
fat ....
Where do you see $2800? Did OG supply a link, that I can't see/find?

WESTERN ELECTRIC ELEPHANT HORN SPEAKER FOR WE 275A TUBE AMP. | eBay
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
Again, never saw anything like that on all the WE postings on the 'net. Having trouble getting hose pics to load from ebay, but there hasn't been a WE nameplate, so I still suspect they are bogus. Its like me copying the WE 13 & 14 horns and calling them WE without a label. BTW, I guess I deleted the picture and it didn't come up when I did a site search, but the WE Fiberglass horn I posted a few months back does have a label and it therefore must be early fortys at the latest. Much better than the one that was all mangled on Ebay, too.
The redhead says they remind her of doo-doo. Possibly an appropriate observation.
Maybe Dairy Queen had a speaker division?
