Description: Vintage Hand Cranked Fog Horn Our Vintage Hand-Cranked Fog Horn in a wooden box is a functional piece of maritime history. Designed for use in foggy conditions, it served as a tool for navigation. Mariners used this horn to signal tacks and wind directions with blasts. Its authentic wooden box makes it a valuable relic of nautical heritage. This fog horn operates with a hand crank. It once communicated essential signals: one blast for a starboard tack, two for port, and three when the wind was abaft the beam. These signals highlight the ingenuity behind early maritime communication. Signs of age add to this piece's character. The wooden box has minor scratches, while the crank-worn wooden handle has some fading. Additionally, years of use have left a circular wear mark on the side of the box near the crank handle. Despite these marks, the horn remains functional and does produce sound, though it has not been fully tested for extended use.Features:Hand-cranked operation: Produces sound but is not fully tested.Sturdy wooden box: Protects the horn and enhances its presentation.Historical design: A practical relic used for signaling in maritime navigation.Distinctive wear marks: Includes a circular mark near the crank handle, showcasing its history. This fog horn makes an excellent decorative item. It fits perfectly in nautical-themed spaces or as a unique accent in modern interiors. With its blend of function and history, it evokes a sense of adventure and nostalgia.Height:15.34Width:7.34Length:22Weight:18.5If you have any questions about this item or any other product listed you can contact us by clicking on the "Ask Seller a Question" link.Our customer service team can answer your questions, just contact us at (five seven four) - eight seven zero - one five seven one.Payment:eBay's Managed payments is the way most people pay us, but if you have other payment questions, just let us know.Shipping Information: Handling Time is 1 day - Unless otherwise noted, all of our auction items are shipped via FedEx Ground, Home Delivery, or eBays Global Shipping Program.
