Klaxon Electric Horn serial numbers...what years?

[alsfarms]

I have a couple of early Klaxon Electric horns. One has a serial number of 1781 with the second horn a serial of 93596. I also have a couple of early teens projects. I already plan to use the lower serial number on the older car but it would be nice if someone here has information that would suggest what years related to a certain serial number blocks. Does anyone have serial number information? I would also assume that this type Klaxon horn would not have been used a lot before 1911 or 1912? The horns all show a Patn. date of 1908. Also, does anyone have spare parts for these horns. I have a bad vibrating plate in one horn.

I believe that Klaxon horns were a division of General Motors. Delco Remy Division - Service Manuals

I finally figured out how to use the new photo sharing system I have. The attached is one of the Klaxon horns I am working on and would like to learn about the serial numbers and how they relate to different automobile model years. If you have any spare parts, I need one of the vibrating plates.

Thanks, Al
