I picked up a nice corner cabinet that has to be from the 1950's. Came with a Goodmans Axiom 22 woofer and this horn. It has some numbers on it but I'm not coming up with anything name wise. The cabinet is plywood and finished pretty nicely but can't find anything like it on the web.
Wanted to show the experienced people out there and see if anyone recognizes.

Not hardly a clue on this one other than to say that the driver looks like a close facsimile of Western Electric 720A/Jensen NL-100.

My WAG is it was made for and under contract with somebody's navy, not necessarily the US.
 
Thanks for your input, I appreciate that. Thing is Heavy, made out of cast iron and bullet proof. I guess I'll put it back in the cabinet and see how they sound.
 
Here's another from the same owner that lived in Northern Virginia. I believe that to be the same color paint. This horn weighs 11 pounds. Has the number MX-16AVG1 on it and that is a brass collar below magnet, measure 10.1 ohms as well.

This was made by RCA for the navy, still mounted in a ship.
