    I'm hoping someone can ID this horn. Also, what does the large flathead screw in the center do if anything?

    the screw may adjust the tone or be a mounting point

    Yeah, I think it may adjust the tone. Any idea what year it's from? Or what vehicle(s) it went on.

    Not sure what year,would ***ume 6 volt.The screw most likely adjust the diaphram inside this will make a difference in the noise but as the horn vibrates the diaphram has a small (for lack of the correct term) ****** that rubs against a gear the vibrates the diaphram through use the ****** wears down.and they would have to be adjusted to function properly

    Thanks for all the input fellas. I have hooked it up to my 12v truck and it worked fine. Hope that was not a bad thing to do? I'm going to bead blast it tomorrow and see how it looks underneeth.

    A 6v horn will work very well with 12v, louder and higher pitched. Long continuous operation might burn it out, but I have on Nash hot rod that has been working a couple of years now. It has a unique sound........
