Help Identify this Push Horn

[Barnsmith]

I just picked up this A-K-Orn push horn this weekend. It works great, and is quite loud. I searched the www. and could find no data on age,rareity,vehicle most likely used on. Anyone?

These gear driven horns were popular in the early days of motoring, teens til early twenties. They were louder than the rubber bulb horns on early cars, but the electric horns in late teens took over the market.

Many brands and mfg's made these, and any owner could attach to his car, these weren't made for specific vehicles. The Klaxon brand was the most famous and it's name is the generic name for horns that make this sound .....aaaoogah!
