The brass Morning Glory horn is seldom found, partly because from 1908 it was effectively replaced by the wood horn as a deluxe option, and some existing brass-horned machines were re-equipped with wood horns. Mahogany cases were apparently made by British cabinet makers, unlike standard oak versions imported from Victor in the USA.
