Handphone was made by Automobile Supply Manufacturing Co.

Just another brand of hand plunger klaxon horn.

Yeah, its got a big plunger on it that when pushed down makes an ahoogah type sound. Often compared to and sometimes referenced as a "Klaxon horn".

Google is your friend.

Note that one of the forum threads includes a patent pending number.

Also, various trade journal entries in Google Books.

Have fun.

Thanks guys. The horn is in Arizona for the winter so I've not seen it. I'm gathering up information for Don when he follows the snow melt north next spring. PK

Thank you Erik: That link led to "Automobile Topics", where I just spent the last two hours scrolling the pages. I found the horn that was on my grandfather's '15 T, as a "Stewart Warning", for $5.00 in 1914. The old gent hit it too hard once, and it hadn't made a squawk since '16. I repaired a bushing in '93, and it's now back to annoying the neighborhood. Best regards,
