Hi:
According to Jim Shield's book "Restorer's Model A Shop Manual", there were five manufacturers of Model A horns: Sparton, Ames, GMI (General Manufacturing Industries), EA Laboratories and Stewart-Warner.

Here's a link with lots of info on the GMI horn: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8713
