Description
Antique hand operated car horn of the "arooga" type, with a toothed mechanism which vibrates a diaphragm when the plunger is pushed. It was probably made around 1915: the name plate is unfortunately fairly illegible but it looks the same as the American made ones, made by Lovell McConnell though it's probably a British made licensed version. Metal construction, steel and aluminium, most probably.

declaration
Barnaby's of Battle has clarified that the Antique Hand Klaxonet Arooga Car Horn 1910s (LA592508) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being 1910s
condition
Condition is good enough structurally, though the plunger is a bit bent. Importantly, it's in working order but cosmetically it's fairly battered (see pics). A great authentic looking accessory for a veteran or vintage car though.
